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

debunking the debunking of the debunked bunk

Libs and conservatives trying to be intellectual. Garbage in, garbage out

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

no laws to protect them from abusive corporations

no educational system to protect them from ignorance

I-was-saying

the United States is nothing like that

doubt

there's usually nobody out to kill the sort of person that meme purports to represent.

i'm sure a bunch of racist hogs would've killed obama if they could've done it easily, and he eventually would deserve being killed as a reprisal for obama-drone and amerikkka shit so he actually needs acute protection, from the state's point of view anyway.

I feel bad for that lady's kid when she murders them for coming home unannounced at 3am.

what needs debunking here, that Obama was president or that the United States is a country?

[–] jack@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

guy: Obama was never actually president because America is too racist to elect a black man, this is Biden's third term

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Correct but it's actually Reagan 10th term or some number like that

The better response here is, a national leader is a lot more likely to be a political target that requires a security detail than some random Karen. This is another example of conservatives living in an alternate reality where they imagine they’re constant victims/targets. And inaugurations are public events where the security is there for both politicos and the general public in attendance.

Also, the exact same thing applied to Trump and they didn’t make any memes like this for his inauguration. This really doesn’t have anything to do with guns themselves.

"We have cops and alphabet agencies that protect you, you're safe" sus

You'll be "protected" by an overly aggressive and racist police force. Don't forget to say thank you!

Under the guidelines of your own ideology, that which you both prefer and live under, there are no legal limits to the number of body guards and paramilitaries you can contract out to follow you to McDonalds.

Imagining someone trying to do an ancient Rome-style power move by having 300 "bodyguards" following them around DC.
