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 chapos. Wreckers/CHUDs are allowed. If they aren't banned yet then report them, don't post them.

You know sometimes I have to admit I feel a bit frustrated about how jaded I am towards so much media now since becoming a leftist. There are days I do kinda wish I could just clap like a seal and enjoy the latest Marvel nonsense without a hint of cynicism.

Shit like this makes me realize how much fucking worse it is on the flip side..and that makes me so fucking happy.

conservatives (who are actually liberals)

Wow, they finally realized it.

It's a classic No True Scotsman fallacy at work.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

No, it's a conservative wiping the scales from their eyes (albeit momentarily) and realizing liberals and conservatives are just two sides of the capitalism party, which is liberalism.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I don't think they realized that at all, even momentarily. They're just calling themself the one true conservative for not seeing the Barbie movie lol.

Guy posting on raebxeh.com: This place is full of libs, I'm the only real rightist on this site.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

In that case I salute them! Truly they are atlas holding up the conservative movement by their sacrifice

The prospects of a manifesto shooting occurring in the near future because they’re upset over a movie is likely and bleak lukashenko-tired

Leftists: Capitalism plunged my family into poverty and is a dark entity destroying the world for no real reason beyond the need to sustain itself

Chuds: Movie had woman

We had basically won the culture war but dropped Oppenheimer and Barbie on them anyway

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I say we take off and Barbie the entire site from orbit. it's the only way to be sure.

Historical events are designed, by the woke left, to make Americans feel bad about their country.

Historical events

Nolan conveniently omitted a lot of the scientific contributions of the sad booba waifu that makes the Great Man feel like a god while fucking her, so there was some creative license taken that freeze-gamer gaters should actually appreciate for being in their favor if they weren't ignorant.

EDIT: And the movie also omits a lot of other women involved with the project, because Nolan.

Imagine if you will, a world where men cry in the corner for fear of the complete unraveling of civilization... All because two mid pop culture movies became popular...

You have entered the BudLite Zone.

Their only hope to reclaim their standing in the culture war is to buy millions of Sound of Freedom tickets

removed

now that's a name I've not heard in a long time

edit: Guess they remove that portmanteau of feminist & nazi fair enough, still been a long damn time since I've seen someone use it. They really are stuck in the early GG years huh

Even his "conservative friends" are clearly put off by his culture war bullshit lol. They just want to be normal and watch normal movies.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

In retrospect the line "conservatism is the new punk rock" was incredibly funny coming from the guys who got into conservative politics through children's toys.

You know they've lost the culture war when stuff like this starts popping up

Oppenheimer is anti-American and pro-communist

Wait fr? Should I go watch it?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's pretty neutral on communism, which is probably for the best given that it doesn't understand it at all. Its one attempt to dip a pinky into theory has them quibbling over the translation into English of 'property is theft' from Kapital, which is extremely not where that line comes from and Marx disagreed with it.

Labour organizing and attending CPUSA meetings are shown as broadly good things, but ones which Oppie needs to set aside for the greater good (since they need him to have the best chance of beating the Nazis to the bomb, and the FBI won't give him a security clearance to join Manhattan if he keeps that stuff up). The USSR is even more off-screen than Japan.
