I'd ask if this is intended to be as intimidating as it appears to be but obviously the answer is yes. Isn't this literally what they mock the cultural revolution in China of doing? Of turning people into willing spies or enforcers for the 'movement/ideology'?

[-] SSJ3Marx@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago

There's something about anticommunist pearl clutchers. Like they don't actually disagree with the things they accuse Stalin, Mao etc of doing, they think that's shit's extremely cool and wish that they could do it themselves to their own political enemies. The pearl clutching is therefore entirely performative, "oh the Commies banned books they don't like unlike us the free speech warriors"/"we should ban every book that depicts a non cishet person."

Some chuds are honest enough about admitting they believe that all "sides" are just as selfish and ruthless and want to fuck over everyone else. Their belief is clownishly wrong, but it's how they feel.

I've definitely been in 100 arguments with yanks about how draconian australian laws requiring you to vote are, now look at them, haha!

you can ruin your ballot and get your name checked off, there's no one forcing you to actually cast your vote, blahblah democracy

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 38 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

No chance they'll just make assumptions that perfectly conform to their already held beliefs.

Everybody who looks like a nice young man voted for republicans and all those other expletives voted for the commie.

Well yea if a person over the age of 50 doesn't explicitly state the race of the person they're talking about for no discernable reason you know the person was white.

[-] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 16 points 4 days ago

i always call people on this when they do this, mentioning the race of a person in a story they're telling. 9 times out of 10 it wasn't relevant in any way to the story but when questioned, they'll say something like "I was just trying to paint a picture of the scene".

OK so why didn't you relay to me vivid descriptions of the setting and location? You just said "at the store" or "on the street". I thought you wanted to "paint a picture" wordsmith

That's just normal people. grillman

Y'know, given the "quality" of the candidates, having a paper trail of not supporting either might be a desirable thing to have before too much longer... makima-think

You have a point. doomer

Framing a print out saying I didn't vote and keeping it with a flash drive of all my hexbear posts to give to the Chinese advanced forces to prove my willingness to work with them lol

Should I even dare to ponder what is going on in the "Next Door" apps part of the internet?

Ahh.. I can hear their anthem now... the slow swelling of weed-wackers and zero-turn mowers crescendoing up into full throttled gas powered leaf blowers... grillman

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 23 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

A two-stroke leaf blower produces as much pollution as fifty suburban assault vehicles per unit of fuel, but they get really fucking mad and will give you a rage serenade on top of that boomer orchestra if you even suggest using a rake. grill-broke

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 27 points 4 days ago

The local HOA asked me if I knew anything about setting up a website for their org. I told them I'd "look into it and see what kind of options are out there." What I really thought was "lmao get fucked and thank Allah none of you have discovered Next Door."

My sibling has Next Door and says it's mostly just alerts whenever a brown or black person is walking down the street, also inquiries if anyone heard a gun shot, there's a shooting range a couple miles away.

My state has a referendum to finally ban shooting mountain lions on the ballot this year but it leaves open the "it was coming right at me" defense South Park made fun of all the way back in 1997.

If you thought lib votescolding was bad, wait until you get berated by the KKK adjacent neighborhood watch.

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago

Looking up to see which of your neighbors didn’t vote and then harangue them over it seems more like a blue MAGA thing than a red MAGA thing.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 23 points 4 days ago

I think it depends on your area. MAGA chuds can be vindictive over petty shit like lawns or existing while not white enough on their block.

[-] SadArtemis@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago

Pretty sure it's blue and red MAGA (basically just- libs of either variety) alike. After all they both "gotta keep up their property value..."

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

They're doing it too!

It's just political blackmail at this point

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
