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.
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

The fuck is Faustian individualism? The climax of Faust is him realizing he fucked up when the devil comes to collect.
Wait what? You're not supposed to make a deal with the devil? I thought it just made you just got a cool fiddle at the end. Fuck.
In Goethe's version Faust gets away with it.
Oh, that's funny - is white nationalism running around with the idea that deals with the devil are actually awesome?
Faust was just such a Chad that the deal didn't take - he asks Mephistopheles to make him so happy that he doesn't want to strive for more, but then doesn't allow himself to be satisfied. Haven't read it since college, but IIRC much of the story is about exactly that kind of rugged individualism sigma grindset shit that so many guys worship.
That's really funny, he turned the idea of a Faustian bargain completely on its head.
Kinda depressing life though. You're never satisfied, never truly happy, so thoroughly empty that not even the devil can fill you with joy
Yeah it's all very Sturm und Drang.
Maybe it's like if you only put the tip in to white nationalism, but then white nationalism turns into vagina dentata and bites it off and you turn into a full chud hobbit as this guy suggests.
Idk I'm speculating here
