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

Yeah I posted last night about how this image would get you an FBI visit if you weren't white.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 32 points 7 months ago

White supremacy privilege.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 44 points 7 months ago (3 children)

This is not good.

If a fascist is threatening violence, it will likely be used against other people, such as tran folk, Autistic comrades, BIPOC peoples, etc.

[–] reverendz@hexbear.net 35 points 7 months ago (10 children)

Exactly. I wish folks would stop with the memes.

When Trump won last time, there were multiple raids in my neighborhood within a couple months of him winning. My part of town has a large population of immigrants (I am one myself) and ICE was everywhere. A couple on Next Door, from the Middle East, was freaking out because while they're here legally, it didn't stop ICE from harassing them and threatening to take their daughter away.

This shit is not funny.

Yeah, Biden's just a vessel they pour every human they hate into.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago

Exactly. He's an "avatar," of sorts. What they pour their hate into. But he won't be hurt.

I am (well, except the trans part... maybe).

[–] taiphlosion@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

maybe

Lol I get that, I didn't realize I wasn't cis till my mid-20s and even then I didn't settle on nonbinary til after tons of introspection

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I at least may be non-binary.

I don't really think of myself as a man, you know?

[–] jaywalker@hexbear.net 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This might be ridiculous, but I often wonder about autism and gender and if they're connected in some way. I say that because I'm autistic and often think about how I don't view myself as a man or have any attachment to gender. I think it's something to do with gender being at least partially (almost entirely imo) a social construct and having trouble understanding that aspect of gender creates a kind of agender feeling for me.

I didn't quite understand this feeling until my late 30s and I'm not sure what it means, but like I gotta work tomorrow and shit so I just try to not think too hard about it ya know? I think if I had a better childhood with a support system and knew about the autism earlier, I might have spent more time thinking about gender in my youth

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

There is a thing called "Auti-gender."

[–] jaywalker@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, autigender seems to encapsulate what I'm talking about. Also neuroqueering explains some of it for me as I think some of my "rebellious" behaviors like wearing dresses, makeup, etc when I was a teenager in rural Alabama might have really been driven by a demand for autonomy and resistance to gender norms. Although I didn't read a lot about it yet and might be misinterpreting the meaning

Yes, actually that's the exact line of thinking that led me to discovering it. After being told for years that I was a man, how you're supposed to think and talk and act like a man...I just didn't get it at all. Then came the thought "well maybe you're not a man?" and I was like 🤯

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago

Good thinking, tbh

none of our business. let the dudes get their toxic yaoi rp on

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 16 points 7 months ago (2 children)

It's unhinged. And he means to install Plan 2025. I feel like that's what they'll be doing against us leftists but with a vengeance.

If he doesn't do 2025 kamala will. So I find it hard to be pressed about it on that front

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

Same. It’s an effective tactic to scare people into voting Biden because he’ll protect them from it.

Love the based Kathy Griffin replies

[–] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 7 months ago

Lol right? Can you can get a sticker for like the back of a uhaul of kathy griffen standing upright holding Trump's severed head

[–] axont@hexbear.net 18 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Remembering that one news story claiming Baron Trump actually thought Kathy Griffin killed and beheaded his dad

Virginia has the headquarters of several of these militia groups.

But Texas is worse than Virginia.

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 22 points 7 months ago (1 children)

So its a video that has a single clip of a truck with the image described, not even featured heavily and the media is going to flip shit over it?

cool.

I saw that guy's twitter account first (NoLieWithBTC) and was like "why the fuck did someone post a cryptomoron's Twitter?" But the initials from his name are just BTC... incredibly unfortunate that his Twitter handle @ is cursed with that

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 18 points 7 months ago

I want to see that genocidal bastard's obituary, but seeing it from fascists has a more concerning energy for sure.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 16 points 7 months ago

Lmao this is typical chud nonsense that they love doing like the ones with Obama being hung by a rope.

Is this a truck Trump drives around or is it featured in a video of his supporters? If it’s the former than he’s pandering too much to his base and if it’s the latter I’m not surprised

[–] Parsani@hexbear.net 16 points 7 months ago

Starting to think this Trump guy is bad

I mean, I'd rather see this than the usual version which features a young woman bound in place of Joe Biden.

I'm always astounded by those. What sort of guy would have one? Does he have any women whatsoever in his life? If he does, what do they think? Why doesn't anyone ever, like, see that guy get out of his truck and just attack him? Such a man must be among the scum of the Earth, the absolute dregs of humanity.

This is all that the libs in my life are talking about. It has been days. Their real issue with trump continues to be the lack of decorum.

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

C'mon, just balkanize already.
