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 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.

Best highlights:

Well since marx and his antisemtic works to stalinist antisemitism to the current rush of commies who are all antisemitic cause they follow marx and stalin.

Leftist organizing is filled with antisemitism. Why won't condemn china russia or sri lanka for their genocides while only condemning israel. See this is why lot of jewish folk are feeling this anti zionism is antisemitic.

Find nuance within zionism rather than just being anti zionist as all those rabid college protestors

Banning israeli who served in the idf once is not a good look and obviously anti semitic.

Neil druckman is being unfairly maligned.

A lot of leftists praise hamas and that's as bad as idf. Y'all blindly supoort them just cause they are fighting israel. Meanwhile you all ignore sri lanka doing tamil genocide and the ccp doing uyghur genocide. But you all cheer on jewish civilians killed on oct 7.

Equating zionist to white supremacy or white people is very antisemitic. You leftists don't condemn sri lanka or china cause they are not white. This is a common stalinist tradition.

Also hamas is just has their own interests and don't care about jeopardizing palestine's future.

Zionism was not the product of its leaders. Implying they pushed it or they were powerful is antisemitic. It actually formed cause jewish folk escaped persecution and came here. It was a movement cause it has emotional appeal. Zionism is an emotion. Holocaust was the reason for all the jewish folk to form a jewish state.

Do you condemn hamas? Hamas attacks on civillians parallels nazi attacks for the average gentile. Hamas is a fundamentalist antisemitic group.

Horsehoe theory???//

Turns out having a PhD in Star Trek YouTube videos doesn't translate into basic academic humility on anything else.

[–] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

Well its breadtube so its all about bloated videos with very little basis and a lot of hand wringing.

Zionism as an emotion.

Yes I was feeling very Nazi today, going to ethnically cleanse my mind right now.

Hamas is a fundamentalist antisemitic group.

Yes Hamas has fundamentals they believe in and fight for while you bootlick for the Zionists in your audience Ms. Jessie Gender while you have no ideas besides the ideology and TV shows you grew up with.

She really should just talk about Star Trek. And even then she's mostly repeating herself.

In answer to your inquiry :

National and racial chauvinism is a vestige of the misanthropic customs characteristic of the period of cannibalism. Anti-semitism, as an extreme form of racial chauvinism, is the most dangerous vestige of cannibalism.

Anti-semitism is of advantage to the exploiters as a lightning conductor that deflects the blows aimed by the working people at capitalism. Anti-semitism is dangerous for the working people as being a false path that leads them off the right road and lands them in the jungle. Hence Communists, as consistent internationalists, cannot but be irreconcilable, sworn enemies of anti-semitism.

In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty.

Anti-Semitism means spreading enmity towards the Jews. When the accursed tsarist monarchy was living its last days it tried to incite ignorant workers and peasants against the Jews. The tsarist police, in alliance with the landowners and the capitalists, organised pogroms against the Jews. The landowners and capitalists tried to divert the hatred of the workers and peasants who were tortured by want against the Jews. In other countries, too, we often see the capitalists fomenting hatred against the Jews in order to blind the workers, to divert their attention from the real enemy of the working people, capital. Hatred towards the Jews persists only in those countries where slavery to the landowners and capitalists has created abysmal ignorance among the workers and peasants. Only the most ignorant and downtrodden people can believe the lies and slander that are spread about the Jews. This is a survival of ancient feudal times, when the priests burned heretics at the stake, when the peasants lived in slavery, and when the people were crushed and inarticulate. This ancient, feudal ignorance is passing away; the eyes of the people are being opened.

It is not the Jews who are the enemies of the working people. The enemies of the workers are the capitalists of all countries. Among the Jews there are working people, and they form the majority. They are our brothers, who, like us, are oppressed by capital; they are our comrades in the struggle for socialism. Among the Jews there are kulaks, exploiters and capitalists, just as there are among the Russians, and among people of all nations. The capitalists strive to sow and foment hatred between workers of different faiths, different nations and different races. Those who do not work are kept in power by the power and strength of capital. Rich Jews, like rich Russians, and the rich in all countries, are in alliance to oppress, crush, rob and disunite the workers.

Shame on accursed tsarism which tortured and persecuted the Jews. Shame on those who foment hatred towards the Jews, who foment hatred towards other nations.

Long live the fraternal trust and fighting alliance of the workers of all nations in the struggle to overthrow capital.

jesse-wtf

This bullshit is more craven then just openly declaring yourself a zionist and Im not going to bother with drawing a distinction at this point. hamas-red-triangle

[–] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Imagine being a YouTuber and having to make four hour long slop. I just couldn't, how can you even engage with something on a purely intellectual level like this and say that you're confident you're informing people correctly, for such a long period of time too? It's remarkable how so many anticapitalists can have the contours of their views molded by capitalist hegemony and barely even realize it.

[–] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (3 children)

Oh ho ho ho, she even goes on a mini rant about how people called her out for her andor video repeating propaganda. She just rants on about gulags and stalin. And how her views are molded by facts and tankies won't accept it.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Does she actually say the word "tankie?"

[–] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

She says stalinists throughout the section. Mentions that they were criticizing her andor video where she mentions stalin and gulag. Then also just goes into how stalin was a anti semite. She cites this one book I mentioned in the thread which is about how stalinists and left are antisemitic. Keeps saying that same people cheer on hamas and don't condemn October seven.

lenin-heisenberg Okay, before I start, I'd just like to thank SquareSpace for sponsoring this video, thanks to them I managed to make Sovi.et, the premier online space to read theory and get in touch with other comrades

[–] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah but he was engaged on the local struggles, I can't imagine Jessie Gender is if she's making four hour YouTube videos which highlight poor qualities that may be present but are ultimately nonreflective of the ML (or "Stalinist") left

At least down the rabbit hole is well researched and defunctland is high quality. But low quality talking at a camera for four hours?

[–] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

One of the referenced book in the segment about the left. Thanks to the brave author for strongly critcizing the cancer that is stalinist russia. Thank you labour mp for standing against antisemitism on the left.

Every trek youtuber is either a Gen x libertarian or a lib stuck in 2015. Someone buy me a computer that I can run video editing stuff on and I will give you the amateur produced communist look at trek about 200 people want. There will be no bisexuality lighting or any fancy film lights, my dim apartment bulbs will suffice and there will be no audio quality to speak of and you will have to focus on the topic to not have it drowned out by background noise and the fact I'll be red lining at all times. Same with metal gear. I'd like to take these people to school cause their media analysis is first year college level at best and going to film school after doing well in English class and filming book reports for a living doesn't mean you're good at it.

[–] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

I condemn oct 7 fully

[–] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

Love that Israeli factions are currently in hot water regarding how the mass pogroms and torture should be fine. And they keep doing their genocide.

All this sort of western person can muster is whatever this video. The most pressing issue nuance with zionism and respectability.
