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

When will liberals figure out that you don't have to side with paedophiles? Like it's not legally mandated, you could just not do it

[–] huf@hexbear.net 65 points 5 months ago (2 children)

pedophiles have to stick together in this cruel world

[–] jaywalker@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago

wow some liberals are Jewish so this is highly antisemitic of you

[–] Pentacat@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Don’t worry, pedophiles; Israel doesn’t extradite. You can just head over to the colony if you get in trouble.

[–] LaBellaLotta@hexbear.net 88 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I fucking knew this was coming I’ve had this dumbass take bouncing around my head for weeks. They really saying Kendrick calling drake a colonizer and a pedophile is anti semitic! Wild

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 41 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They even state Kendrick’s song was #1 and they are just openly going to call everyone in the US who listens to it anti-Semitic? They couldn’t possibly water it down more or do a more egregious boy who cried wolf

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago

I was replaying NLU in my car today on full volume, can't believe I'm an antisemite 😔

Which way to gulag

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 74 points 5 months ago

Author is an American Enterprise Institute fellow and has a page of previous Atlantic articles crying about protesters and woke (if you scroll back a little further the crying is about identity politics instead of woke)

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 70 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Okay so she's Jewish, she's not necessarily Israeli or a supporter of Israel.

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 65 points 5 months ago

Yeah, but whoever wrote this wanted to find a way to call Kendrick antisemitic.

[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 49 points 5 months ago

The phrase “not in our name” means nothing to Zionists

[–] Huldra@hexbear.net 54 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Why would you remember that Drakes mother is Jewish, and not simply that Drake is half Jewish?

Is this just word count writing? Just a weird ass unnatural way to phrase it, very few celebrities parents are noteworthy enough to be part of the common knowledge around that artist.

[–] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 61 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If Drake's mother is jewish, doesn't that just make him Jewish? I thought pretty much every jewish tradition considers it inheritable through the mother rather than through both parents

[–] Huldra@hexbear.net 35 points 5 months ago

Yeah I guess in a religious sense he's just Jewish, but him being mixed is a big part of a lot of the drama going on around him so people usually call him half Jewish, I guess it also makes it clear that his mother is Jewish rather than him having converted.

Ultimately I just said half Jewish cause that's what I hear people call him.

[–] Huldra@hexbear.net 32 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Also I can't help but feel like this is the kind of hyperaggressive overreaction that Liberal and Conservative reactionaries alike ascribe to trans people and other minorities.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Reactionaries projecting their tendency to overreact onto others? Why I never

But yes, it does feel very similar

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago

This lib still believes in the One-drop rule

[–] Darth_Reagan@hexbear.net 45 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Hes comfortable middle class Canadian

[–] theposterformerlyknownasgood@hexbear.net 33 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He's wealthy. He's fully bourgeois.

[–] Darth_Reagan@hexbear.net 23 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] 01101000_01101001@mander.xyz 13 points 5 months ago

Also bougie 👈😎👈

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

Yeah if anything this diss is anti-Canadian

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 44 points 5 months ago

Another failed Rorschach test

[–] Jew@hexbear.net 40 points 5 months ago

As a Jew I don't need a fascist ethnostate to feel belonging. Jerusalem should have been designated a holy city for all but instead its propped up by the brutalization of Palestinians. Colonialism has robbed everything holy from the holy land.

These are the greatest two paragraphs ever written in any language.

[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 25 points 5 months ago (1 children)

we need to pour toxic chemicals into the atlantic

[–] BynarsAreOk@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I mean yes, but also actually no really please don't.

[–] homhom9000@hexbear.net 22 points 5 months ago (2 children)

White Mother Biracials can't help but live up to the stigma

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 13 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Kendrick tells Drake not to say the n-word

In response drake says it even more times

Most white thing I've ever seen

[–] homhom9000@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Exactly. They love doing the thing people say not to.

Even "why you rapping like you tryna get the slaves free" is outta pocket.

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

What did you expect from a guy that wore black face? He's the most successful culture vulture. Kendrick was 10000% right, he's just a colonizer. I've never heard something so racist in a modern song.

Hot take but idc: having a white bio parent and a black bio parent still doesn't give you the right to say the n-word.

He's like that one woman who made the quadr*** "joke"

Diabolical racism, and in the end only white people laugh/ don't see a problem bc that's the audience for people like him.

Edit: to clarify, the racism I'm talking about is the blackface and that line you mentioned.

[–] homhom9000@hexbear.net 2 points 5 months ago

I have similar critiques about doja cat too but that's another discussion.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 2 points 5 months ago

Drake is so embarrassing

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 11 points 5 months ago
[–] DrJenkem@lemmy.blugatch.tube 3 points 5 months ago

I mean, Drake is an anti Zionist, so this extra doesn't make sense.

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 5 months ago

If only he had written a song called "I condemn Hamas." 😔
