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

We all know libertarians don't actually care about consent, though.

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

New theory: every single person who attends a right-libertarian event is actually a pit stank fetishist who wants to be discrete about their whole thing, and, knowing that right-libertarians are supposed to be the monarchs of malodorousness, has decided to completely fabricate an interest in those politics in order to get their fix. Nobody at these events knows that everybody else is there for the exact same reason that they are, and so they're all just sort of keeping up the act.

One thinks, "Uhh... Libertarians like... SJW cringe compilations, don't they?", and so he promptly proposes, "Uhhh, hey, guys, don't we want to laugh at some, uhh, SJWs? To own the libs and stuff like that or whatever?"

The rest collectively think, "I'm supposed to like that stuff, right? Besides, watching this means that I don't have to actually say anything meaningful about all this nonsense that doesn't even make any sense.", and so everybody enthusiastically nods, and thus it begins.

And so they all spend several hours just watching SJW cringe compilations. The one sometimes notices that everybody including himself has the face of someone being socially obligated to eat rock soup while complimenting the chef, and asks, "Do you guys want to continue or should we... do something else for a while?", and nobody has any other ideas that wouldn't out them, and so they all just sorta go, "Uhm, it's, uh, it's up to you." -- "I'm fine with continuing, personally." -- and so they continue.

Sometimes they start getting suspicious of each other, but none of them know what a real libertarian is supposed to act like anyways, and their social skills are just developed enough to know that they can't just out and ask such an embarrassing personal question, and so they just keep up the act literally from day to dawn.

But hey, the pit stank was to die for, so all in all it could've gone a lot worse.

100% of them are 20-something year old white dudes, amazing.

edit: actually dude in the middle-ish behind red tie might be late 30s. Still though.

Also love how most of these guys are dressed up business or business casual, then you have Mr. Fedora in a t-shirt and unwashed jeans.

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 49 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Can't tell if he's the only one treating it with the decorum it deserves, or if he genuinely thinks the fedora makes his outfit formal.

As far as cringe compilations go, it's kinda hard to beat that picture.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 60 points 1 year ago

[whispering] "hey so I thought this was the young libertarians meetup, heh, when do the young people arrive?" *Wink, tips fedora

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 59 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It runs the entire libertarian spectrum from failson to anime pedophile to future domestic terrorist.

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not a spectrum that's a Venn diagram

[–] cmhickman358@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago

That's not a Venn diagram that's a circle

Bowties on white guys fuck me up, because like 90% of the time it's a weird conservative, and then like the other 10% it's a whimsical candy maker.

I don't want to miss out on candy, but I just can't trust anymore.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's only one whimsical bowtie-wearing white guy I trust:

[–] mar_k@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

he's a massive neolib biden bro

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's not perfect, for sure, but he's right on a lot of things, including gender identity, and he's pretty vocal about climate change. One of the few libs I can forgive.

We spent the whole time watching SJW cringe compilations on youtube.

These people are stuck in 2016, half of them probably had every clip they watched memorized.

Mom says we can rent two movies tonight but they can't have swears or boobies in them.

This picture is like a training set of data for the AI that allows me to identify libertarians. I feel like I could detect one at 50 paces now.

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

That fedora dude omg he really wants to be the stereotype.

[–] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago

Looks like a frat house that couldn't throw a fun party if they tried.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago

The entrance has a sign with an age requirement, and it lists an age for all 50 states for some odd reason.

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

When you're in a looking like you were photoshopped into pictures, but in real life all the time competition and your opponent is those guys:

I wonder who told each one they should go to a social gathering to do with their interests to meet women. Every last one

Poor guys, someone should give them some beauty and self-care tips so that they can get a wife to leave them.

[–] macabrett@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 year ago

I wasn't sure how anyone could willfully volunteer to be in this photo without dying of cringe and then I remembered they're libertarians
