lmao those reddit dregs are really pretending they're not the whitest crackers to ever grace lemmy, the vitriol they have for black radicals alone was palpable in the first week

Also it's clear they've never engaged with this instance at all if they think our deal is simply being a chapotraphouse fan site, that wasn't true even back in 2019 let alone 2023, lmao why lie about something so easily disproveable

[-] huf@hexbear.net 30 points 10 months ago

even the chapotraphouse subreddit had a running joke that nobody posting there was actually listening to the podcast

I didn't know Blowback had a funny symbol like that!

You would know socialism doesn't work if you spent more time working under capitalism smuglord

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 78 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

spend years reading leftist theory, but have zero real world experience

jesse-wtf

I just love this lib classic. I really do wish I lived in whatever "real world" these people live in where they don't feel even the slightest amount of rage at all the injustices imparted upon society by capitalism. Miss me with the pragmatism bullshit.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 51 points 10 months ago

They have real world experience as a manager screaming at underlings to work harder and stop slacking.

[-] JuneFall@hexbear.net 36 points 10 months ago

It is basically a dog whistle for "your life doesn't count".

Quoting Bill Haywood

I've never read Marx's Capital, but I've got the marks of capital all over my body.

If you work, you know you're getting fucked by your boss. You may not have the means to put it into words to explain your exploitation, but you understand just the same that every dollar your boss gets is a dollar you didn't get for your work

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 63 points 10 months ago

I am white and downwardly mobile thank you very much

[-] GaveUp@hexbear.net 62 points 10 months ago

Yes, I'm sure white and wealthy people are actually more likely to support poor non-white countries, cause I don't see any other types of socialists doing that

r/blackwolffeed is probably the largest Chapo fan community right now. Chapo posts here get like ~10 comments engagement max compared to the 100+ for every pirated episode there.

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 36 points 10 months ago

Yeah if I’m looking for discussion of a new Chapo episode I go there not here

[-] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 50 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Aren't the assholes posting shit like this the ones who are saying "China/Cuba/DPRK isn't real socialism it's actually fascism okay"

[-] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 38 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Absolutely, so it's guaranteed these people are the ones loaded with inheritance money and bullshit nepo jobs from their parents.

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 48 points 10 months ago

Inform these people that you were raised by poor parents and you're currently working paycheck to paycheck and they'll tell you "just learn 2 code lol"

Fuck I hate these clowns

[-] Twink@hexbear.net 26 points 10 months ago

No coding? Then just get a degree! funny-clown-hammer

[-] roux@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Ok I learned to code. Still the same as before but with a slightly larger tv now. What do now?

[-] blobjim@hexbear.net 45 points 10 months ago

feel like these are bait fedposts to get people who aren't white to out themselves but it could go either way lol.

[-] ObamnaSoda@hexbear.net 39 points 10 months ago

[-] GorbinOutOverHere@hexbear.net 39 points 10 months ago

[-] johnbrownwasright@hexbear.net 38 points 10 months ago

well yeah, I'm white, and I'm gonna be wealthy as soon as my XiBucks arrive, I guess these libs really can see right through us

[-] build_a_bear_group@hexbear.net 34 points 10 months ago

I'll finally be wealthy once all these Soros-bucks/wages from the CCP/FSB stipends start showing up... Any day now.

[-] neo@hexbear.net 32 points 10 months ago

White? 🚫 Well off? 🚫 Upper crusty suburb upbringing? 🚫 Late 20s and older? Yea ok you got me there.

[-] Zodiark@hexbear.net 30 points 10 months ago

i dont care for felix's voice or manchild persona.

honestly glad hexbear also outgrew that podcast.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 23 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Agreed. Podcasters in general are obnoxious at best and tend to involve the whims of the comfortably affluent doing the podcasts, no matter what they claim to be.

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago

Don't besmirch all my personal friends like that kitty-cri

Very few people want to admit that this is the end, the beginning of an imperial unraveling. I see all these debates over whether China is communist or not, whether they’re the fucking Third Reich or something ridiculous, or they’re the saviors of humanity. They all miss this very basic fact: China overcoming mass poverty on a scale we’ve never seen, China modernizing on the timeline and scale that it has, is the only generational human accomplishment of the last 30 years. That’s it. That’s the only thing anyone actually remembers in one thousand years if we’re still here...The United States, European Union, India, no one has any equivalent accomplishments...In America, though, you never hear about it.

Radlib v*ush (🤮🤮🤮) fans describing how pointing out that america is an imperialist misery machine is a magic spell to remove melanin from your skin and add dollars to your bank account: morshupls

[-] toomanyjoints69@lemmygrad.ml 28 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I have a coworker at the coal mine i work at. He is a landlord abd owns an asphault business. This man lives and breaths making money for his kids, yet never sees them. He doesnt seem haopy, only friendly. I feel bad for him, and i wonder why he runs away from his familly. He works 12 hours a day and on his days off he works at his asphault business. His tenants hate him because the maitenance never gets done due to him hiring no employees. How do i know all this? Im his tenant and his coworker.

[-] NoGodsNoMasters@hexbear.net 27 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Wow this has got to be the first time anyone has ever accused Hexbear users of reading theory

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 26 points 10 months ago

"Nepo baby" apparently means anyone who has a family that is "at least well off," which of course is defined as whatever some asshole wants it to be.

[-] Tomboys_are_Cute@hexbear.net 20 points 10 months ago

Didn't realise fires weren't real I guess

[-] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 20 points 10 months ago

As usual, they spend all this goddamn effort writing fan fiction about what the pinkos must really be like, when they could just respond to the shit we actually say and the evidence and sources we provide.

smuglord Or maybe they can't.

[-] Lerios@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

once again i wish i lived in the world conservatives think we do cowboy-cri

[-] Annakah69@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

These people are disgusting. Literally filled with rabid anti-communists, probably whipped up by fedposting

Thank you hexbear mods for keeping this space in a better place.

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
