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

Thought the ancap sub was banned or private, so I didn't bother looking at it since chainsawman was elected, but this showed up on my frontpage. https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism

Can't wait to see these losers shut the fuck up when everything starts collapsing

No one has ever sufficiently been proven wrong in the history of politics. Prepare for one or more of the following:

  • The damage from predecessors was too great
  • Other countries teamed up to prevent him from succeeding
  • The circumstances were out of his control
  • His political opponents sabotaged him
  • It hasn't been long enough, this is just an adjustment period

It's infuriating also because these excuses can totally be true.

Yeah at least half of those apply to our faves

From the comments on that post:

I still can't believe 14 million people voted for an AnCap. Even if he fails ( made to fail ), those 14 million people aren't going anywhere. A lot of them, I believe, will double down on liberty if Milei goes away. Kind of like Ron Paul and Trump supporters.

He cannot fail, he can only be failed.

This dork thinks people vote out of ideological fervor. Yes, since Eugene Debs got one million votes in 1920 all of those voters staged a million person socialist coup on Washington throughout the following year. That's how this works.

And what's with those examples lol. Ron Paul supporters vanished into nothing until oil executives launched a campaign to scoop them into the tea party thing. Trump supporters went to the capital, wandered around in circles, then left.
