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

You either die in jorts or live long enough to become a genocidal monster.

It's amazing. It shouldn't be, but it's amazing. How genocide is not a deal-breaker for dems.

Literally the Pope outflanking the Squad on the left.

Big C Catholics do have their own extremely bizarre sense of morality that they occasionally dig out of the closet, which is more than can be said for libs.

Reagan is to the left of the modern democratic party, that's all kinds of fucked up

Vote for the genocide reduction candidate.

I don't "hate" him. I simply hope another stroke locks him in his body like a prison and he spends the rest of his life in a fraction of the terror a Palestinian child must feel.

Social Democracy might be the moderate form of fascism but Social liberalism is increasingly looking like bog standard fascism.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago

I hope people pay more attention to candidates us-foreign-policy or curiously lack thereof or [REDACTED] on their campaign pages.

Hey there this symmetical list of polices......minus one. Which one is that? Were they told to remove that tab by their campaign wonks or the party? thonk

[–] RamrodBaguette@hexbear.net 44 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

On the contrary, I've seen a stream of right wingers on every comments section of his saying something along the lines of "wtf I love based fetterman now". So no, now it's just the "radical left" who hates your opportunistic guts, since Palestinian genocide and anti-immigrant cruelty are two topics which have united the center and right. Not like that grifting will do much good since the hogs will never choose a diet GOPer over the real deal.

smuglord both sides hate me so I must be doing something right.

"I'm under attack!" says the Goliath of a man who literally shoves his voters out of the way when they ask for a ceasefire.

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No blood clot is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do

Damn has the US ever been this mask off in defending flagrant genocide? Wild shit

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

committing and defending genocide is basically the US calling card. the calling card of all empires I suppose.

usually the tactic at the top is to just never talk about it. the situation in Gaza is so extremely horrific though that it's led to massive, non ignorable pushback so they're forced to not just pretend nothing is happening but engage with reality and defend the horrible actions

[–] Hohsia@hexbear.net 12 points 10 months ago

joker-shopping

Even that gives Israel an approval rating of 40+%

The lack of dialectical materialism and its consequences

[–] Tachanka@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago

The US's very existence is built on the genocide of indigenous first nations.

Fuck off and die

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 21 points 10 months ago

The political left and right both hate me. Except the right, center, and what passes for center-left still agree with me and like me.

So its really just the left then

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 21 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Israel as 'progressive' lmao

No gay marriage and marriage between an Israeli and a Palestinian is not recognized

These are your 'progressives', libs?

In fact

JAFFA, March 10 (Reuters) - Israel's parliament on Thursday passed a law denying naturalization to Palestinians from the occupied West Bank or Gaza married to Israeli citizens, forcing thousands of Palestinian families to either emigrate or live apart

That was LAST YEAR they passed that horseshit

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 12 points 10 months ago

Even if they had the best LGBT+ rights on earth they wouldn’t be progressive. You cannot be progressive while enacting racist genocide

[–] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago

yea,....now. Political left wanted to love you.
