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 don't want to spend 40 minutes on this lol. I've gone in for 6 and it's already told people to use V*ush videos to debunk Prager U, gone on a tangent about modern "Stalinists", and quibbled about Ukraine being a US proxy without contending with what anyone claiming such a thing actually uses to justify it. It's just storytelling and no analysis from someone dropping "rationalist" dog whistles every two minutes.
It doesn’t have to make sense, just give a sense of confirmation to viewers that already sit in or near his ideological camp.
It feels like listening to a baby atheist trying to debunk Islam because they read 1/3 of a Dawkins book. What they lack in knowledge they make up for in the pretense of certainty.
I watched a little more and now he just quibbled about the difference between US funds and weapons "ending up" with Nazis vs the US funding Nazis, with the debunk being a hypothetical about Nazi Germany. He never contends with what the articles say nor the fact that the US has specifically targeted support to Nazi groups. Just moves on after the hypothetical. When calling it out, he basically did the :reddit-logo: fallacy citation thing too, lol.
I'm impressed that there are so many dum-dums out there who take this seriously.
What, like a hypothetical reality where we didn't put them all right back into power after they had done the holocaust? This fucking dog brain
Dogs have not smart brain, but that's cause like90% of their grey matter is dedicated to being eager to please. Dogs have better brain
