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

As shitty as it is, this country 1. Isn't designed in such a way that would allow a third-party candidate a genuine chance of winning and 2. Has too many centrists that will vote for Biden regardless. Trump has repeatedly garnered heavy support in Republican polls, so they're pretty much almost all in on him. Splitting the blue vote between Biden and whoever else will only lead to a Trump victory after which we might not even be ABLE to vote in 2028.

I'm legitimately having a panic attack. These airheaded anarcho-kiddies are genuinely going to land us all in camps.

biden's doing literally nothing to stop states from criminalizing lgbt people's existence emilie-pain

their fears about a trump presidency are valid but i wish these libs would stop putting their hopes in the DNC when its clear they have zero interest in running a candidate that isn't complete dogshit

This is a real comment:

Shouldn't these numbers be seen as a major victory, especially with Biden being blamed by pro-Russian and Chinese bots on social media and by billionaire-owned news agencies for things outside of his control? - As for Palestine, he's been pushing for a ceasefire for a long time now, he's been admonishing Israel, and he's been dropping aid to Gaza. The countries that have stonewalled the ceasefire are the same ones that have smeared him on social media - Russia and China. - In terms of his successes/effectiveness, what are your thoughts on… his masterful handling of the Ukraine war

I feel like I’m losing my mind. I can’t do this any more. These people live in a fucking fantasy world.

Bidens "ceasefire" was literally telling Palestinians to stop fighting so that Israel can come in and Massacare them. Props to Russia and China for vetoing this shit.

They talk about Biden "admonishing" Netanyahu, but it was always just Biden getting sassy with Netanyahu on the phone, and then immediately sending him billions of dollars worth of weapons after they hang up. Like Biden hasn't been instrumental in manufacturing Western consent and support for the genocide of Palestinians for the last 6 months peppino-angry

It's gonna take people awhile to come terms with the collective west getting absolutely wrecked by the Russian untermensch.

What the actual fuck jesse-wtf

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 34 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

This is because China and Russia correctly shot down the fake ceasefire proposed by amerikkka in the UN which would have given a bunch of shit to isntrael

Libs just eat up the propaganda like dogs

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 14 points 7 months ago

They never read beyond the headlines

This person lives in a mind palace of their own design, but instead of imagining something cool they just imagine that Joe Biden is doing ineffectual posturing.

These people live in a fucking fantasy world

Worse

They live in a fantasy world and accuse everyone who dares question even the slightest part of the fantasy of being some sort of evil foreign actor, or else the ones truly in a fantasy world

It's disgusting and insidious

[–] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 30 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Lying by omission by saying he admonished Israel and dropped aid to Gaza. He didn't admonish Israel, he vocally expressed displeasure with Netanyahu while shipping infinite aid to him. He literally dropped a pittance of aid on Gaza and killed people with it.

What Chinese bots? Reddit is swarming with Israeli bots and these dumbasses are still focused on Russian Facebook pages.

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Just so we're clear here: Zionist astroturfing is a real, actual thing on Reddit.

I've posted things mildly critical of Israel on an unrelated, non-political, extremely niche and tiny subreddit. Then I wake up the next morning to a tidal wave of ACTUALLY ISRAEL HAS THE RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF YOU ANTISEMITE replies, that outnumber the tiny community's actual subscriber count.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 14 points 7 months ago

Same. They’re all over Reddit and are pretty easy to spot. These liberals ignore that and instead accuse every leftist of being a Russian or Chinese bot.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 18 points 7 months ago

Oh he's dropping aid alright.
