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

Is the video sped up and Norm just talks super slow or does Mr. Borelli just talk that fast? How do you become a famous internet personality for talking if you sound like that? Voice modulation software?

That's just how people confuse Destiny with being smart, he talks fast

He debated Candace Owens the other day and she has the exact same strategy. Just watching two pseudo-intellectual coke fiends argue and she actually spanked him too lmao

He talks so fast it's like Jamie Taco trying to steal Finkelstein's lines

I think it’s pretty great how there are two prominent public intellectuals with high, croaky voices who look vaguely alike: Jordan Peterson and Noam Finkelstein, and they’re mostly on the opposite of the issues.

The difference is that Finkelstein actually has something valuable to say most of the time whereas Peterson cries about fat women offending him on twitter

mostly on the opposite of the issues.

mostly??? what are you saying about norm??

[–] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Norm is also against "woke politics", although while JP has a repurposed Nazi conspiracy theory to explain why he doesn't like wokeness, Finklestein's problem with it is more that the Democratic Party has embraced it as a kind of religious dogma and pushed out elements of their old base with it, so it's not really the same.

If people don't like wokeness because it is insufficiently woke I can't find it in myself to dislike that.

[–] IMF_DOOM@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

he's pretty transphobic ngl, in one of his books he said

::: spoiler transphobia “At its worst, the woke cult of transgenders is a cross between voyeurism and morbidity, a fascination with the sexually bizarre, a politically correct version of snuff pornography. It’s at the “intersectionality” of the lassitudinous culture of the Hamptons and the depraved sexual ennui of Hollywood.”

[–] glans@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago

what a confusing sentence. in every way.

how does he react when corrected on this?
