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.

This guy is literally saying Chinese spies, possibly of the psychic variety, are making him mad (perhaps stealing his minds elation?).

My Chinese friend had never heard of the Xi Winnie Pooh thing until I asked her about it

Liberals can’t help but repeat 200 year old debunked talking points like a broken record player, as if it will make sense this time

As is well known, Lassalle heard nothing of the "iron law of wages" other than the word "iron" borrowed from Goethe's "eternal, iron, great laws". The word brazen is a signature by which the true believers recognize themselves. But if I take the law with Lassalle's stamp and therefore in his sense, then I must also take it with his justification. And what is she? As Lange showed shortly after Lassalle's death: the Malthusian theory of population (preached by Lange himself). But if this is correct, then again I cannot abolish the law, even if I abolish wage labor a hundred times, because the law then governs not only the system of wage labor but every social system. Precisely based on this, the economists have been proving for fifty years and more that socialism cannot abolish natural misery, but only generalize it and spread it over the entire surface of society at the same time!

They're using the same arguments as 150 years ago, yes.

What do you mean it's racist to call a Chinese man yellow? It's just like everyone's favorite Asian Peril character, the perfidious Yellow Claw!

Remember Fu Manchu, the giant racist egg that Marvel just never quite got rid of?

I refuse to go there but are they doing the reddit shit where everyone tells the same jokes in every thread?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

doing the reddit shit

this is gonna get buried and I'm probably gonna get downvoted for this but fuck Russia and fuck Putler.

edit: wow, this thread really blew up! RIP my inbox!

edit2: thanks for the gold kind stranger!

edit3: I'm seeing word that there's some tankies hanging around on this thread, and I'm only going to say this once - get the fuck out. Maybe you went, I don't know, to a LIBRARY for once in your lives and read a book on the Soviet Union that you so fervently worship, let alone the authoritarian Chinese government, you wouldn't be such fucking douchecanoes.

satire too good agony-deep

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

Yeah, their ilk tend not to have any legitimate rebuttals to well thought-out arguments, so they resort to calling people "bots" while throwing around words like "imperialism", "genocide", "authoritarian", and "dictator" in various combinations. Add the passive aggressive tone and racist +100 Social Credits Winnie the Pooh Tiananmen Square Weeghur """"jokes"""", you got yourself a Redditor.

Redditors are the sentient large language models the techbros have been after.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

considering how much of reddit is bots these days, this is as literal as you'd like to make it
