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

This has been an argument for decades now, Sweden is chugging along almost exactly the same as it always has.

Its been getting a lot warmer.

Clearly the immigrants are all Fisher Kings and brought the climate with them

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

i hear rotting fish are even more delicious in summertime

[–] huf@hexbear.net 6 points 9 months ago

they cant admit that their problems (what problems, most countries would love to have sweden's problems) are due to neoliberalism, but lucky for them, europeans are so racist that they'll swallow the made up "migrant question" shit and ask for seconds.

I have watch history turned off on YouTube so theoretically my algorithm is neutral/default. I keep seeing this same video recommendation which means it is being actively promoted either indirectly by the algorithm or directly through sponsored ads.

[–] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

I don't watch any history videos, I got this video

If Sweden is Syria now, who is Sweden's Bashar Al Assad?

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 21 points 9 months ago

the lion of stockholm

Becoming Syria would give some culture and civilization to the water boiled hotdog eating Northman. But then again, the Turks gave them meatballs and they manage to ruin it too

[–] CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Meatballs are Turkish? Italians in shambles!

[–] Fishroot@hexbear.net 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ikea meatballs were introduced by the ottomans iirc

I think that was just something a spokesperson said, with seemingly very little in the way of evidence. It did however almost make every swedish chud explode, so I guess critical support to the revisionists.

water boiled hotdog eating

look at mr. fancypants here
pretending he's too good for 6-month old fermented canned herring that looks like it's about to explode from the gaseous buildup

I would rather have syrians as neighbors than the god damn swedes anyway

YouTube clickbaiters doing a John Oliver bit from 2014.

Fuck it, the dark months suck anyway. If Bashar wants to swap for a few months I'm up for it.

Glory to the Lion in his mission to colonize savage new lands, to spread the light of civilization and the dream of Greater Syria.

It's amazing the chuds think leftists rule the media when this is the kind of reach they get.

[–] Carguacountii@hexbear.net 6 points 9 months ago

I always think of that place as Wallenberg Inc.

Not sure why a Dutch person arguing that Sweden is ruined is a reason to shit on Sweden. There are so many legitimate reasons to do it.

Also baffled why Sweden had to cede land to Norway and got to annex parts of northern Finland in the map.
