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

"I am a member of the United States military"

Hello? Human resources!

"I threw a live frag grenade into my commanding officer's tent"

Aww! You're so sweet!

🧠 not getting with soldiers because of the high chance of them mistreating you / cheating while overseas

:galaxy-brain: not getting with soldiers because you're a progressive and anti war

:centrist: not getting with soldiers because you're a libertarian and cant stand to fuck someone who works for "the largest socialist organization in the US"

To be fair to most burgertopians the military is basically the only explicitly non market system of production and distribution they know of or have experience with. The fact that it also works under a system of vaguely "to each from each" also helps to give the impression that the military is somehow socialism.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

yeah, cos it's the only part of the state that still exists

the rest is just stocks in suits.

Literally the national guard brings government surplus food to food banks and the VA is the only socialized healthcare Americans have experience with. I see how they get the impression.

It would be ironic and comedic if it was true.

Biden is the only socialist president who isn’t a bloody dictator. People who say socialism always fails don’t know anything about the USSA

There are so many girls that date military guys, I have no idea where this guy is looking. There's still so much respect around the military that this guy must intentionally be going after girls that aren't into the military.

[–] Nagarjuna@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's trying to land alt girls I bet

Cope in the comments that its just because people in the military are busy

there's nothing more arrogantly bourgeoisie than turning your nose up at someone who joined the military to build a better life for themselves.

I’m really changing my station in life, I think, as I tase another prisoner in the balls

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

bro there are so many jobs that are way better at doing that. how tf is subjecting yourself to ptsd and murder going to build a better life for yourself?

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

I mean as someone who grew up poor in the imperial core that's really not true. If it was you wouldn't have Uber drivers

Third Amendment absolutists stay winning data-laughing

"Less than 10% of the military sees avmctive combat"

Love when they tell on themselves about not being able to connect larger themes.

People also dont like the beuracrat that signs the form confirming that family of 4 we just vaporized were terrorists, or the logistics officer that makes sure the bullet gets from the factory to the back of the farmers head as quickly as possible.

People don't just dislike the active soldiers, they dislike the people that make the things they do possible too.

You can search by controversial and find guys talking about military domestic violence rates and genocide, nature is healing.

Don't worry, you'll find someone before deployment, and I'm going to keep your half of the bed warm while you're gone
