was looking through the r/polcompballanarchy subreddit and making fun of all the ideology shoppers in there with my partner and we saw this lol, literally having their brains eaten by the worms.

I get why folks say "the left needs to open their arms to converts," but kind of unmoored behavior is why people need to be cautious.

People can have unexamined views and maybe have a big shift once in their life. But once you have a foundation, and have learned some empathy, you shouldn't find yourself swinging wildly in your beliefs... maybe just in your approach. But there's people out there treating life and other people's material condition like a boardgame on a made up board and picking up movements because they like the aesthetics. And I'm so annoyed when people suggest I always have to take it seriously.

I'm probably preaching to the choir here. But I find this kind of flippant behavior towards real struggle to be the absolute worst. You're not picking microgenres off of spotify, this shit affects people.

Sorry to seriouspost under a dunkpost, but gd, the screenshots are my pet peeve.

Amen.

Once you become a genuinely convicted leftist, you will never go rightward again.

When your understanding of politics is based on "Which ideology makes me look the coolest and has the best vibes?" instead of "Which ideology makes the most material sense?", this is what happens.

debilatory democracy

What?

I know of the recent efforts from one of the comrades here to democratise depilatory technology but, uhhh, what in the fuck word is "debilatory"??

Are we trying to say deliberative democracy? What the fuck kind of vapid liberal nonsense is deliberative democracy anyway?

"I think we should have a democracy where people think about what they vote on and there should be discussions about things"

All of this is cursed.

"I'm a neoliberal Marxist who is opposed to reactionaries and I'm a neoconservative, socialist, neoliberal Keynesian." This gives me whiplash.

Translation: "I want keynesianism for white people only, that's also kinda white queer tolerant"

But also with constant militarism/world policing by the U.S.

No, it's a democracy where people must suffer debilitating injuries in order to vote. Ever complained about something costing an arm and a leg? Well you'll see how good you've got it after you vote.

“It begins in the only one that is not pointed with an arrow (Christianity)

and ends in the only one that does not point an arrow (palace economy)”

Basically started out with a 2000 year old religion, and ended with a 3000 year old economic system..? What the hell does palace economy even mean in the modern world..?

I thought it was anti Trotskyism when I made the post because I used the polcompballwiki to try and work out what all the ideologies were before giving up and I was going by their tiny pixel art images of everything smh

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
