post more ppb, post more insults, post more dunks
its funny
I think it's more interesting to have less rote responses, though some people totally have a ppb coming. If we reach for "ppb" or "hog out" or whatever at first sight of conflict, it's reduced to nothing better than a verbal tic and a genre of spam. It's better for the influence of our instance on the others to have more personalized responses (and sometimes even engaging!)
True, people are too unimaginative with their bullying. Ppb is largely played out already, we need to be on the forefront of new developments in lib bullying.
we have become soft and stale cooped up in our cave
we must emerge to feast on new flesh and grow strong once more
We should be searching for new forms of livestock, feces, and genetalia. Real cutting edge lib dunking technology.
Hopefully some of that pent off energy is tempered after a week or two of 500+ comment China struggle sessions to establish where everyone stand
If we aren't isolated by then, I'm hoping that the liberals will realize that they actually need to come up with some substance in their criticisms instead of relying on silly redditisms
there's currently a struggle session about to hit 600 comments in c/cth, I'm fairly certain it has a good chance of hitting 1k comments by the end of the week
Yeah haha I've been following it, that active sort is gonna keep it up for another 3-5 days for sure lol
oh I'm literally having a conversation with you in that thread rn lmfao I'm maybe a little drunker than I thought not to notice that hahaha
I mean yes, me too, but I also don't want to annoy Lemmygrad with too much ppb because some of them don't like it.
And I want to respect Lemmygrads wishes because they've been super nice to us.
Maybe just keep ppb to libs that come to us?
I cannot compute the idea of ppb not being funny.
apparently it's huge for them, so that might be part of it.
I'm sorry to the people who don't like it (not the chuds) but this is still just the absolute funniest fucking thing in the world so I can only apologize with my words but not my heart.
It's perfect that it's the cute little digital drawing that's massive too lmao
thank you for this i have stolen it and will use it for nefarious pigpoopballing
Browsing from a mobile app, I know exactly what they mean.
It gets exhausting to browse threads with all the emojis if they aren't the proper size. The gross-out factor of ppb compounds it all
It's conceptually kind of funny but for some people the gross element is outweighs that
PPB is ours, we should keep it close and cherish it at home
Every PPB is sacred
I'm a filthy ape throwing shit at the other animals and you can't stop me
It's too small, it doesn't have the same shock value
and we can no longer make it bigger with markdown
linking to hexbear.net/PPB stays winning
Look owl, I just want people to fight more. Fight over here, fight over there, its all fair game as far as Im concerned. Wherever there are liberals someone should be there bullying them.
Maybe just keep ppb to libs that come to us?
it makes the most sense that way IMO, but I'm ambivalent. I'd focus more on dunks, and then insults for those who are clearly just committed reactionaries. PPB for dipshits who wander into our comms is perfection though
Is it funny? Abso-fuckin-lutely.
Does it also turn those on the edge away from socialism and solidify their stereotypes of us? Also yes.
Just keep that in mind, and reserve the nuclear dunking for those who are acting in bad faith.
Actually I think bullying people makes them more susceptible to self crit and therefore helps socialist movements more than placid civility
Both are good because different things work for different people, and sometimes the combination works when one or the other doesn't.
This only works in specific circumstances. It is better used online to shame bad-faith actors who are here to poison the well.
I'm telling you emphatically from experience that II really don't think this is the case for the vast majority of people in real life most of the time. If you have gotten to a point where they say something shameful, then it can be good to put a foot down and call it out as the bullshit it is, but there's a few effective ways to do it and many ineffective ways to do it.
Im being a very brave boy, just like this free speech warrior of old
If they come here, absolutely
Otherwise be chill about it, but also try to bait them here
No you should always be mean to liberals. any place, any time. Thats what communism is all about.
yes honestly watching them be absolutely befuddled is funnier than your average ppb. And they don't even have to express it
Yeah, my favorite responses today has been:
WTF does this even mean
and
You people are very confusing.
BECOME-UNINTELLIGABLE
I never realized until just now that the guy is wearing a zip-up collared shirt.
A plaid collared shirt. With a zipper. As the fastening.
zip-up shirt
wtf they actually exist and aren't obvious at a glance
"I hate being reminded that my articles of clothing are made up of components"
I'm more concerned about too much posting activity being dedicated to that than more fruitful things
I simply dont think we can do anything on the internet thats more fruitful than bullying libs
I think they should be allowed to show us their genitals in submission
Thesis: we should be nicer to the libs
Antithesis: we should be meaner to the libs
Synthesis: we should be a little more patient with the well-meaning ones and meaner to the smuglords
