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

this For Americans who still give a shit about 9/11 they don't like the idea of being one-uped in terms of the victim complex

What is with the Muricans and the battle for Alamo? it's probably the most overblown battle in the history of humanity.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They don't view it in the larger historical context of American settlers fucking over an existing nation so that they (the settlers) could own slaves, they only view it as "smol bean resistance fighters against big army"

I think they desperatly yearn for some really bloody loss to fuel their messianism, but alas they've been mostly winning all the time and even when they loss it's not really huge manpower losses.

President Xi pretty please.

Depending on how old you are, if you were old enough to remember 9/11, you wouldn't just think that

You'd know it

It’s a good old boy lost cause that racists can reminisce about publicly to dogwhistle their racism

And for those who don’t give anything at all, twenty times zero is still zero.

Does laughing like a giddy toddler at 9/11 memes count as caring about 9/11?

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, but it’s a negative number, so you have to laugh even harder at Israel memes
