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

Can't find any good takes about Kissinger so here's a black and white picture. Btw, he's not good looking.

LMAO, would've done him a bigger favor by saying nothing

[–] underwire212@lemm.ee 47 points 11 months ago (2 children)

This is most definitely bait lol

[–] manuallybreathing@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

this tweet is from one of the hosts of Red Scare, I haven't listened to it in years, but they were vaguely dirtbag leftists, funny folk, ya know

[–] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I would say more of dirtbag anti-liberals and contrarians

[–] manuallybreathing@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago

probably a better assessment if I really think about it

[–] WeedReference420@hexbear.net 43 points 11 months ago

Remember when she almost died from covid because she was so contrarian she actually didn't get the shot, instead of doing what you're supposed to do and just pretending not to get it?

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 42 points 11 months ago

This is a much better picture of Kissinger

New York socialites need to be dragged out their condo in the middle of the night by large men and driven to a farm upstate, troubled teen industry style.

There they will plow the fields endlessly - not producing any food, just plowing the fields for 12 hours a day then going back to bed.

She's not a socialist (not even self-identifying as such).

[–] Gracchibro1@lemmygrad.ml 44 points 11 months ago (1 children)

“Socialite” is just a fancy word for a popular person that socializes a lot.

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 26 points 11 months ago

Lol totally misread that.

[–] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Are you referring to the commenter saying New York socialite? If so the term isn't connected to socialism but to the social scene in the city.

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

I misread, her podcast was about socialism a few years ago. I know what a socialite is.

Urge to cultural revolution rising mao-shining

[–] MorelaakIsBack@hexbear.net 41 points 11 months ago

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 35 points 11 months ago

pro-Kissinger content

This feels like the folks down at /r/neoliberal screaming "PEPFAR" at the top of their lungs, every time someone mentions GWB.

measurehead AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE SHAPE OF THE HAM SANDWICH MAN'S SKULL, HE WAS VERY SMART, BUT HE LACKS THE ABILITY TO ATTRACT MATES, AND SO IS DOOMED FOR THE DUSTBIN OF HISTORY

[–] Kanda@reddthat.com 27 points 11 months ago

Intelligent face? Like the face had its own intelligence or are we talking some 1930's nazi science?

[–] regul@hexbear.net 27 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I miss rachel news

Although Franz Joseph Gall made an important contribution to neuroscience proposing the functional localization of specific psychological traits, his analysis was far from correct, leading to the pseudoscientific field of phrenology.

The direct consequence of phrenology can be seen as a talking point for a specific community on the internet known as "incels" who attribute size of the body parts of man (and in many such cases, to that of women) to intelligence and strength. This is nothing but a very misogynistic argument that is the result of patriarchal capitalism.

Recent studies have found such "incel" talking points in twitter.com users to analyse politicians, and it is a future implication to research how these two areas intersect

[–] professionalduster@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago

back in my day, bait used to be believable. 😒

[–] D61@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

Kissinger's dead, but by god, his calipers live on!

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

This is a fantastic post. Red Scare sucks, but damn this is a great "things you say to men to piss them off" bit

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

Why would she do this to Brace
