Guys please don't use slurs you'll make us look as racist and homophobic as we actually are!

[-] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 65 points 10 months ago

It would be a good bit to keep asking for clarification on old timey inter-white slurs. Catch a permanent-ban for refusing to back down after calling a mod a squ*rehead or something.

The term is stupid – all name-calling is. Good politics is made of ideas and coalitions and compromises. It’s hard to do, of course, it requires patience and humility, not shouting and grandstanding and undiagnosed malignant narcissism. But calling someone a gammon is not only a stupid waste of a two-syllable word, and meal. It is also, to steal leftist language, hate speech. There seems to be an idea, most recently spoken by Owen Jones, that when the left says something – whatever it is – it is not, and never can be, hate speech. So, let me – as a Jew, shall we say? – explain why it is.

oh my god fuck oooooffffff lmao

[-] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months ago

It should be illegal to publish something that poorly written. Thanks for teaching me gammon though.

First Nations 🤝 Native Br*ts : Calling settlers "Fucking Colonials"

I also get a special joy out of calling Southern US whites "Yanks"

Nothing beats seppo. That actually sounds like a slur unless an Australian says.

Making a comment about how America is a shithole and trying to list all the reasons why, accidentally overloading the database when I hit 'post' because it's the length of a small novel.

Yeah I tried to comment on some post there the other day and it didn't go through either. I'm like 99% sure I've never commented in there before so no idea why

I did see comments from other hexbears so they apparently didn't just ban all of us

I wish Rule 3 just went on for paragraphs

Rule 3: No bad faith comments. For example, saying "America is a shithole" without further elaboration is bad faith. Saying "America has X problem because Y reason" is presumably in good faith. Saying "America is bad because of its neo-imperialism" is bad faith. Saying "America is bad because of its neo-imperialism which has characterized its foreign policy since at least WW2, either through its public statements and actions or through later declassified information such as its involvement in the 1973 Chilean coup or the 1965 Indonesian mass killings" is presumably in good faith. Saying "America is bad because of its monopolar position in the world economy" is bad faith. Saying "America is bad because, in spite of the world decolonizing in form, America has taken up the imperial mantle as a premier neo-colonial power, through weaponization of finance. It extracts surplus value from other countries through financial means such as predatory IMF loans, direct economic sanctions, and manipulation of the US Dollar" is presumably in good faith. Saying "America is bad because it starts wars" is bad faith. Saying "America is bad because its own capitalist decline requires constant expansion into "new" markets and does not have any purely domestic economy as such. Its domestic economy is a protected garden fertilized with the excess accrued from its foreign exploits. This nationalistic self-interest coupled with the self-interest of certain capitalist businessmen in power has caused the US to be the instigator or at least partial cause of the majority of world conflicts in the last century" is presumably in good faith. Saying "America is bad because it opposes unions" is bad faith. Saying "America is bad because it actively passes legislation and abuses state authority to break strikes and discipline labor, all while cutting taxes and regulations for the largest corporations, even under ostensibly pro-labor liberal administrations" is presumably in good faith.

This comment is nearly perfect

Just needs a line break between each point

What do you guys think of this comment, btw? /c/conservative mods @PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com and @Lookin4GoodArgs@lemm.ee

You wouldn't not respond, right? I'm just curious.

Is there a restriction on commenting there? I attempted to engage with them but it didn't do anything when I submitted my thoughts.

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago

they probably preemptively banned us

none of us were able to comment on your community and we were just wondering what gives?

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 21 points 10 months ago

what's with the preemptive ban, mate? we want to engage in free speech with you.

America has a being a shithole problem because of it is a shithole reason.

So america has problems because it is a shithole is explicitly acceptable to say

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
