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'm getting psychic damage trying to work out what the fuck this is supposed to mean

[–] Maoo@hexbear.net 38 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I choose to believe it's because Jar Jar was black Caribbean.

[–] M68040@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

He's a -- He's a Loser Little Titty Baby

The same people who support the Houthis made Star Wars WOKE

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 45 points 2 years ago (4 children)

rooted for Jar Jar Binks

Aren't we supposed to root for Jar Jar Binks? Didn't he fight the invasion of Naboo?

He also made a speech before the Space Bundestag encouraging them to hand total power to Space Hitler.

The collapse of space liberalism into space fascism was inevitable absent any mass movement for space communism, but he speed it up.

[–] commiespammer@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

He was tricked into it, though. It's not really his fault, I don't think anyone else could've seen it coming.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh whoops how could I have known that giving all powers to one shady guy might be bad?

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean....I kinda blame whoever had a five minute conversation with Jar Jar and came to the conclusion "we should put this guy in a political position" (so I guess basically the average voter)

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

yeah the whole galactic senate is extremely dumb. it's a surprise it didn't collapse sooner. representation is not proportional at all, they spend all their time flying around on little disks and making speeches instead of doing any legislating or planning. Not sure why you made a jab at voters when the problem is clearly that the system is lopsided and undemocratic and has no legitimacy.

"oops i accidentally did a fascism" is still "did a fascism"

[–] manuallybreathing@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

it was closer to a space nazi magic mind control deception than just an oopsie

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

He supported Naboo settler state and their Republican overlords over the Trade Federation invaders in classic colonial war, later himself even becoming the comprador token native in Republic Senate.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He later caused the collapse of the galactic republic though lmao

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

He was a patsy who was manipulated into doing the bidding of a Sith Lord who had already orchestrated a galactic civil war and gotten away with it. He did a bad thing but he meant well and nobody else could reasonably done better in his situation.

[–] Venus@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Sorry I'm a strict Darth Jar Jar-ist, he knew what he was doing

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah right, if that excuse wouldn't work for a UK prime minister it won't work for Jar Jar

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Jar Jar outlasted a cabbage at least.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

This is it, the most grievously I've ever been insulted by an AI-generated gun.

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

grievously
star wars post

lol

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

It's fucking sick and I'm sure Kalashnikov Concern is protoyping one as we speak.

[–] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Houthis somehow made an AK pistol with a banana clip grip.

I don’t even want to know what was typed into the prompt to generate this

[–] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

ET being in Star Wars and sending out facehuggers to turn other characters into more ETs and then having the whole movie remade as an allegory to apartheid South Africa

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

nerd E.T. is in Star Wars, during the senate scene in Episode I there's a bunch of aliens that look like E.T.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Jar Jar's minstrel show hijinks were in service of the good guys, though.

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

AI art and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

[–] raven@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What do you mean? He's just casually holding the front half of an AK by the mag.

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

rifle is fine!

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

damn bro that's so true

[–] volcel_olive_oil@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

wouldn't want to be seen rooting for Jar Jar Binks now, would you?

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

That's projecting a whole lot of racism.

[–] Tachanka@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

one handed AK looks pog af

E.T. creeped me out enough as a kid that I was literally rooting for the CIA.

[–] commiespammer@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

jar jar binks is based

[–] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

ET's ability to express himself in English may have been limited, but don't you remember the scene from the movie where he finally did "phone home" and then spoke in fluent Arabic for 15 minutes about weak points in Saudi military infrastructure and shipping logistics in the Red Sea?
