The pride flag picrew bad national flags globe emoji combination is undefeated in awful takes

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago

Honestly the Picrew avi is enough to qualify someone forgulag imo

[-] WithoutFurtherRelay@hexbear.net 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

no

unless you mean this one specifically

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I said what I said

To me, the Picrew avi says, "I'm going to lecture you about issues of social justice. Also I secretly work at Lockheed Martin"

[-] WithoutFurtherRelay@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

to me hating picrew avatars is just a weird off branch of the usual proxy-homophobia that exists

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I myself am queer. Are you about to say I have internalized homophobia? Over Picrew avis's?

I've started writing off all picrew avatars as fake queers, Langley inhabitants, and NAFO dogs at this point. Feels real three-nos, keffals, blahaj.zone adjacent.

[-] WithoutFurtherRelay@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

please tell me that by fake queers you mean feds

It's just pure contrarianism. It's like they ran an algorithm to decide what will be the least popular political takes and out spits that abomination.

[-] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

no it's pure conformism. These are all of the takes of the establishment maybe if they defend it hard enough they will get a gold star and a well done

they are so pro establishment they are saying the things the establishment doesn't want explicitly laid out because they don't see the problem with these statements

To some extent I agree; 9/11 was justified.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 46 points 8 months ago

When someone has this combination of emojis I assume they're a cryptonazi. It's esoteric behaviour and combining mass amounts of shit together into a confusing mess in a deliberate way that seems to intentionally be confusing for the sake of it. When a person does that I assume it's because they think they're cleverly hiding something behind the confusing convoluted soup of ideology they've concocted.

[-] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 44 points 8 months ago

this person clearly means to express support for Hamas

[-] BynarsAreOk@hexbear.net 42 points 8 months ago

Ukraine, Israel, anti-Communism

Pink Capitalist, Globalist, and Anti-Italian

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 42 points 8 months ago

Least bloodthirsty anti-communist

[-] JeSuisUnHombre@lemm.ee 41 points 8 months ago

Oh so Hamas did nothing wrong then?

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 41 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

And they say we are the ones who will use any means necessary to force communism onto people. Thank you neo-liberals, I just hate you more.

this is the 16 y/o anti-unionist who favors AI.

[-] privatized_sun@hexbear.net 30 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

state ideologies

anarcho-neoliberals literally believe overthrowing Ukraine's president for finance imperialist corpos to have free markets is revolutionary and actual Marxism unlike "Stalinist authoritarian regulations". Biden is CRUEL and RACIST to stop Mexicans from crossing the border to sell blood! SMASH THE STATE!!!

[-] Ho_Chi_Chungus@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago

I was racist, but then a bomb blew up my mother. As I watched my mother's mangled corpse being pulled out of the rubble that made up my apartment block, I was shocked and overcome with the stunning realization that race is actually only skin deep and that my workplace should have affirmative action hiring policies

[-] the_post_of_tom_joad@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Why do neolibs talk as if they aren't disenfranchised? This brunch-goer is a citizen of an aggressive country speaking as if he is one of the .1% making decisions instead of what he would be if this "thought" was taken seriously by someone who was: some poor bastard at the bottom of the rubble.

Since it is so pervasive among them, do you suppose they learn this attitude from the tone of the articles they read? I keep trying to come up with an analogue for it. Like picking up the tab at dinner with friends when you can't afford it? You know what i mean?

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 23 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

If you align your beliefs with those in power, you can fool yourself into thinking you aren't disenfranchised.

[-] the_post_of_tom_joad@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

Ah...yeah, you know what im tryina say. Or likegrind culture bragging about how many hours worked rather than complain about it. Like that shit aint getting anyone anywhere.

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

It's not, but it makes them feel like they have more agency than they do. That's really what it comes down to. Fitting into a corporate culture to keep a job and lying to yourself that this is all fine.

They're often guys who make six figures working in tech and convinced themselves that means they're the elite.

"military dictatorships are good actually because theyre anti-communist" - my dad unironically

The people that internalized the red scare propaganda growing up wouldve been the biggest hitler admirers.

In other words, America deserved 9 11

[-] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 23 points 8 months ago

Solid choice of avatar. Eyes closed, oblivious smile, making an empty peace sign with your hand. This is exactly what this user looked like when advocating the bombing of civilians.

Then bomb the US and Israel, lmao

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 22 points 8 months ago

people making claims like this would recoil in horror at the prospect of such a thing happening to them and theirs. I just wish you could put them in a ring with someone who casually practiced a combat sport for two years to thrash them about for 5 minutes. If you have that at a baseline, you could introduce them to the scale of violence and how it only gets worse.

Professional combat athlete toying with you -> rando who doesnt want to hurt you but would for your wallet -> rando who wants to hurt you -> trained athlete who wants to hurt you -> guy with a knife who wants to hurt you -> two guys with a knife who want to hurt you => guy with a gun -> two guys with guns -> two soldiers with big guns who decide you're in the way -> two war criminals who want to Abu Ghraib you -> the full might of a US colonial project torturing you in an open air prison -> US colonial project flying weapons of war to end your bloodline in hellfire

If you would shid and cry seeing your mom getting punched by a trained combat athlete hitting her with a few jabs, take a moment to consider how that fairs against the escalation of horrible violence before prescribing something worse for someone else. Not like it matters though; they will keep saying bullshit because they have a horrible hang up in not caring about the apartheid, so therefore Palestine shoots red laser beams.

Clown to clown communication.

...So bombing Amerikan, Israeli, and Ukrainian citizens for following "evil and aggressive state ideologies" is absolutely within your cards, right, brunch cracker?

If not for the flags in their bio, this would be the perfect defense of Hamas.

Gents I have to tell you, this is not a psyop, this is just what happens when you're 16 and autistic about geopolitics. It happened to me, you just couldn't name search back then.

[-] robinn_IV@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

I had someone tell me that calling for a one state solution means genociding all people living in Israel.

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
