Zizek calls himself a leftist and of course then says a bunch of horrific liberal bullshit. What a joke of a man.

Filing Noam Chomsky under this umbrella

Noam "Epstein associate" Chomsky

[-] sexywheat@hexbear.net 43 points 9 months ago

The thing that is most telling about Chomsky is that while his criticisms of US foreign policy in particular are spot on, he never actually advocates for any alternative except some vague notion of "anarchism", which I don't think he has ever explained how it would come to fruition. All the while being fervently anti-communist.

Parenti was right about that clown parenti

And note that when he peeked out of his controlled opposition even for a two seconds with not even very hot takes, liberals immediatelly cancelled him.

His entire 70 year career as a good acceptable adult responsible palatable leftist still ended with him lumped together with tankies by libs.

imo Noam Chomsky doesn't really fit into it anymore bcs ever since he said that Ukraine is a proxy war and that it would be better to actually have a peaceful resolution to the conflict the libs have completely despised him

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
