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

Love this free country where you face unemployment, and therefore starvation and homelessness, for exercising your free speech

anybody else remember the actress who got fired and dogpiled for suggesting that maybe half of manhattan shouldn't be shut down for an asbolutely massive police funeral parade that looked straight out of nazi germany

Moralists don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

I have such a disco elysium brain that i automatically read it in the narrator's voice dubois-depressed

[–] iByteABit@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is disco elysium good? I've thought about playing it

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

It's Extremely Good and Cool

I love how steam reviews write the political content off as commie propaganda when the guy who wrote the thing literally lived in a communist country and has no tie to the government in order to have a reason to spread propaganda.

Libs just get in pure denial when they're presented with the idea that there is in fact something better than the current system.

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My favourite is seeing a review that goes

[👎] "woke gay communist propaganda"

and then the next goes

[👍] "woke gay communist propaganda"

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Have you checked to see if the second one was a Hexbear user?

Libs just get in pure denial when they're presented with the idea that there is in fact something better than the current system.

because it indicts them and they'd have to build a new self-image if they admitted it

These are the same bootlickers that whine about "cancel culture" if a sex predator is slightly inconvenienced and misses a few movie roles.

[–] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 47 points 1 year ago

Hit or miss! I guess they never miss huh? palestine-strong

Mia Khalifa has better sense and politics than AOC on this one.

I've heard others say the same.

Big shock: the woman who fled Lebanon as a child because of ongoing Israeli aggression, isn't a big fan of Israel.

[–] CarmineCatboy@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

at least they didn't say playboy doesn't have the right to act in a marxist fashion under a corporate capitalist regime which is a thing apparently

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

Pathetic bootlickers

frothingfash grillman: "Fuck cancel culture....unless your opinions are ACTUALLY unpopular, then by all means cancel the blasphemer!"

Fuck playboy Hefner was a sex pest piece of shit. Throwing stones from a glass house.

[–] MerryChristmas@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Now that one is a head scratcher. I've got a lot of thinking to do.

[–] Quaxamilliom@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

cancel culture is real
