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

It was a temper tantrum
It was a bunch of white people who were mad their guy didn't win
There was no secret conspiracy, there was no plan to undermine the USA
Just a bunch of jet ski dealers and hvac guys who refused to play by the rules they demand for everyone else
Also, I refuse to call it Jan 6, like it's something along the lines of 9/11
Hell, I might even stop calling it 9/11
It was also a temper tantrum that was talked about beforehand enough online that we all knew here they were going to go there throw a fit. Yet somehow no one else knew?
The libs want to call it a coup, but they didn't do anything to head it off, when people going there to have their tantrum talked about it online. Then the capitol police let them in and got medals for it later. Libs response to even this one isolated thing is so scatteredshot i can't even make sense of it.
"It was a coup, but yeah we'll do nothing and let Trump run again in 4 years - we're not AuThOrItArIaNs!" Libs are something else. They can't even stay consistent with their own lore lol
The ancient scriptures have foretold it
It’s part of the latest trend to go “x thing is y by a technical definition even though everyone knows it isn’t, but I’m going to call it y anyway because it makes it sound more dramatic than it actually is”
For example, “punching fascists is literally domestic terrorism, arrest this domestic terrorist!” as if it were equivalent to blowing up a building. This is how liberals operate.
Problem is the laws can and most likely will be written in order to control any sort of resistance, they're already hitting people's wallets for "supporting terrorism" and they're the ones defining what it is
Then they praised the same cops that let them in as well as the military that didn’t show up to protect them from the supposed coup
Yeah a lot of leftist groups put out heads up not to show up in DC that day because they smelled a trap
Yup, i remember reading about how something was going to gappen on here. Yet the US security apparatus was unaware? Complete bullshit
Might as well, since both of these events pale in comparison to what's been done to Chile and Allende personally.
The Capital Temper Tantrum
Nice, 2nding the motion to rename the january 6th shenanigans to this. Democrats act like it was an organized Coup, and it was just a bunch of whiny boomers throwing a tantrum.
What would we call 9/11 then? Funny plane crash day?
'National reap what you sow day'
National Boomerang Day
That will be the day the US sinks in a decades long civil war.
September 11, whatever happened there.
Load-Bearing Stockbrokers Remembrance Day
have you considered that calling it jan 6 will help cheapen 9/11 and inversely create the potential for increasingly unserious future events to be categorized as national tragedies?
9/11 is just Saudi thanksgiving
