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 [email protected]

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

Angelica, a fairly popular ASMR YouTuber recently made a hard right turn after being a communist. It’s very disturbing to see since she originally supported the LGBTQ+ community and now she has completely turned heel here. She even posted an “apology” video that was so smug and awful too.

Another cringe video she just posted: “Why I Left the Left… Kids Need Protection” https://youtu.be/jos6Gpsu4mg?si=CEL5_gzKtetKjvBM

She actually has an excuse for this! She claims it’s a conspiracy perpetuated by Hollywood.

Wow, really going whole hog on the leaving the left thing

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ahh. I see. "Hollywood" did it.

So she's anti-Semitic, too. It's nice to see some consistency from the fash for once.

So she's anti-Semitic, too.

I mean it is written in the title already "Catholic".

I FUCKING KNOW, RIGHT?

I suspect the Demiurge does it specifically to drive us to new heights of torment and misery.

We need to break into the Vatican vault and retrieve the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch

Then we can smite the demiurge

Smite everyone really

If she really took Christ's teachings seriously and really wanted to be his follower, she'd have to take care of the poor, hungry, cold, refugees, the spurned and oppressed - and that includes taking up the struggle for LGBT rights - all without preaching to them or condescending to them. Jesus was very clear about how to act as his follower.

Tell her to get checked for a brain tumor, unironically. That big of a sudden swing sounds dangerous

Carbon monoxide poisoning perhaps

Fundies and tradcaths crave "I was a wicked lesbian pagan witch hippie commie but now I'm SAVED" stories. It's an easy grift. debord-tired

I refuse to watch this video but if someone can pivot from communist to terf in a few months I'm going to guess she:

a) wasn't a fucking communist to begin with and just regurgitated what she thought made her cool

b) is so vapid that the same reactionary justifications historically used against any minority the status quo hated has swayed her to a nazi adjacent position

c) found out that most of her viewer base was right wing, creepy sexist guys who fawn over her and has pivoted her content and online persona to profit from her main userbase in some misguided attempt to make more money

d) all of the above

It's d) folks, it's gotta be d.

If we could silence and lock up every person who said "it's to protect kids" we'd actually see a generation of kids who were not abused by parents, healthy, socially adjusted, void of generational bigotry and hatred and happy probably because they weren't been raised by the same unhinged abusive domineering, victim blaming shit heads who now use children as the excuse to justify their hatred of non cis het white people.

communist to terf

most of the terf i know are actual communists, but I get what you mean here. the meaning of terf shifted so much with time, from "trans exclusionary radical feminists", to just any kind of transphobes. previously every terf was a transphobe, but not every transphobe was a terf. now it's the same.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah the lines have blurred now.

I look forward to when everyone's old and society is ashamed of its past transphobia and how anyone could ever be that bigoted (like how libs talk about the 80s gay moral panic and homophobia) amd remind every fucking hypocrit of what they said about me or to me when we were young.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think that's going to happen in our lifetime

I'm allowed a little hopium as a treat.
