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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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
I think in a way it's because he thinks he's right.
I work with a guy thats a dickhead, and I fucking hate him, because he thinks the reason we don't vibe is all my fault. Like no introspection no thought of wether he might be wrong.
Bill Maher is the same way, there's worse people around (my boss is a capitalist with a bic C, so just objectively worse than some dude I don't vibe with), but the fact he thinks he's one of "the good ones" or "right" and it's just everybody else that's wrong and he's just above it, makes him that much worse. Like transphobes at least admit they hate something (you do not have to hand it to them), Bill Maher acts like he's above it, even though he's also just a fucking bigot.
