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

If you're only reference for terrorists are movie villains this makes complete sense.

Lol love the B movie plot in the second comment.

[–] Huldra@hexbear.net 54 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Literally a thing that happens in Metal Gear Solid(so yeah, B movie) except its the CIA's CIA that does it and it doesnt actually even manage to properly kill any of the important people in the literal helicopter that it exploded in above open ocean.

[–] sexywheat@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago

in the literal helicopter that it exploded in above open ocean.

guys common that's like rule 3 pathetic

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago (3 children)

How do you people still remember stuff that happened in such an old (old by now at least) title, lol

[–] Huldra@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

Its really funny to me that a point blank IED explosion into an ocean helicopter crash results in literally just a time skip and no named character deaths, so it stuck in my brain.

[–] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

Hey Ground Zeroes was only…almost 10 years ago… I-was-saying

I see you have never met the la li lu le lo (people who are convinced that metal gear solid predicted the entire course of the gwot and the early 21st century)

spoiler(they were right)

:codec😃

[–] the_kid@hexbear.net 56 points 2 years ago

he has a point, they should also start inspecting all vehicles in Isntreal too. what if Hamas rigged one of them to explode if you go under 50 mph?

[–] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 51 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Mr Hamas has implanted IUDs in the hostages to murder precious Israeli seed

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Guys I think Hamas is putting explosives in dead IOF soldiers that trigger when they cum. Just to hurt our brave cum squad. So sad

You (probably) joke but it's true. It may be extremely paranoid to say this, but I can't help but feel the US government is entirely aware of the propagandistic power of television and have made full use of it in that way for decades, and I don't just mean movies and TV shows.

Justice Scalia responded with a defense of Agent Bauer, arguing that law enforcement officials deserve latitude in times of great crisis. "Jack Bauer saved Los Angeles.... He saved hundreds of thousands of lives," Judge Scalia reportedly said. "Are you going to convict Jack Bauer?" He then posed a series of questions to his fellow judges: "Say that criminal law is against him? 'You have the right to a jury trial?' Is any jury going to convict Jack Bauer?" "I don't think so," Scalia reportedly answered himself. "So the question is really whether we believe in these absolutes. And ought we believe in these absolutes."

The paragon of law in the most powerful country in the world.

The most powerful ethicists and philosophers are powerless against his flawless dictations.

“Of course fish isn’t meat!” [Scalia] boomed. “Why else do I—and millions of Catholics—eat fish on Fridays during Lent?”

“But from a scientific perspective,” I responded, “isn’t meat just the flesh of an animal? And aren’t fish animals?”

Scalia scoffed. “You’re telling me the Pope has been wrong for centuries?” (Source)

"Are you going to convict Jack Bauer?

Fuck yeah, isn't a hero supposed to be able to handle the consequences of his actions? The ends can only justify the means so far

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago

Barely a conspiracy. The Pentagon consults on basically any Hollywood movie involving the military at all. So all of them

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago

Damn propaganda is a HELL of a drug

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 38 points 2 years ago

Holy SHIT guys this is just like The Phantom Pain, like my video games!!

[–] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 38 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What if Hamas rigged the inside of a hostage so when a doctor does surgery a little man springs out like a jack-in-the-box, and "pop goes the weasel" plays, but the little man is actually a tiny Hamas terrorist so as the tune ends he shoots the doctor? Scary, right?

[–] GhostSpider@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, Hamas will put a bomb inside a hostage's guts and another inside her vagina, so when the rescue team is leaving with her on the copter she will blow up as she jumps from it, leaving Big Boss unconscious for 9 years. 😔

Hamas is exactly that kind of shit bag group.

[–] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Hamas will capture the wrong guy and spend, like, 15 minutes monologuing at him with a revenge speech he's been practicing for decades. Only to get killed by their own giant robot, shortly after.

Omg and then the IDF bravely disarms the explosives with giant digital clocks on the front with only one second left and they all hug while Hamas is captured by a U.S. Army team. A mid credit scene shows one Hamas member about to get up but then a car drives over them and the end credits roll.

Remember when they were doing TDK Joker analogies with Syria or something during Obama's first term?

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago

I forgot this happened in Dark Knight too. Hamas is the hecking Jonckler confirmed joker-gaming

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

teenagers, or adults with critical thinking abilities of young teens?

Let's be real, in burgerland at least your average 15 year old has better critical thinking skills than most right now

never underestimate the ignorance of amerikkkans… most of them seem to get their idea of Hamas from ISIS (beheadings, throwing people off roofs, no rights for women, killing Christians). but i see that r*dditors somehow stoop even lower

[–] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't care if I'm a fascist for saying this: people with baby brains like this with the power to vote in mass murderers are why I've lost faith in democracy.

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 2 years ago

even if they didn't vote the same bloodthirsty fuckers would still be in power.. they'd just take it under less pretense of legitimacy

The Diamond Arm except instead of jewelry it's a bomb

A bit of a twist ending to the Pesnya pro zaicev scene

[–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

And then Arnie will show up in a harrier jump jet, sling the leader of Hamas under the missile, and say "Your fired" before shooting him at a Hamas helicopter.

Fucking clowns.

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Didn't Israel themselves once say that it's impossible to put an IED inside a human big enough to do any damage to anyone besides the person it was inside?
