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

MrBeast: I don't really understand for-profit prisons.

Democratic advisor: They're good because I can make money off of them. You should arrest more people so I can make more money.

Republican advisor: They're good because I can make money off of them. You should arrest more people so I can make more money.

MrBeast: I understand the issue now. I'm going to make it illegal to not watch every new video that I upload.

For problems I’m ignorant in I’d have experts from the left and right advise me on them and try to find the middle ground that’s best for America

The right: Kill all trans people

The left: Don't kill any trans people

The middle ground: Kill half of the trans people

What I'm hearing is that the left should start demanding to double the population with exclusively trans people, effectively a -100% murder rate. Then the middle ground will be 0% and centrists can finally agree.

Kill trans people... who are brown

[–] joaomarrom@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

especially since chuds have been laying into him lately on twitter on account of a close associate of his having come out as trans recently (or something like that, I only read that briefly)

so yeah, both sides, huh?

every single guy who thinks that politics is solved by listening to the left and the right and then coming up with a solution that integrates both viewpoints so everyone is happy actually thinks they are the ubermensch and has a terminal case of solipsism if they don't immediately go "no wait that's fucking stupid that's probably been tried before"

[–] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 51 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

what a fucking novel solution. did you come up with that on your own. i bet you thought long and hard about that. i bet you did a lot of research to synthesize that

The left wants healthcare, and the right wants genocide, lets meet in the middle and commit genocide without providing healthcare 👍

Didn't Obama try to do something like that in his first term? I think he called it his "Cabinet of Rivals" or some shit. It sucked.

Wouldn't be buyable

Aren't there interviews with this guy where he practically presents himself as a machine that shuts down when it isn't doing something profitable? Like aren't there quotes from him where he talks about struggling with motivation and purpose if it isn't tied to making money? He seems almost exclusively driven by money, so I'm not sure I buy that he's not buyable.

It was a "team of rivals" and he snagged the idea from Lincoln lmao. I'm not smart enough to know for sure, but it probably sucked way back then, too

Considering how Reconstruction went with it starting shortly after his death, I'm inclined to agree.

Experts on the left: Climate scientists. Experts on the right: Some deranged person shouting about HAARP on YouTube.

You don't get to lead anything or make decisions without a mandate from people that believe you'll do what they want you to do.

The experts on the right want genocide and bigotry, the experts on the left advice against it, we'll compromise and do a gay genocide (like with rainbow guns, not killing gay people (unless they are on the wrong side))

Mr Beast has achieved the Platonic level of political-philosophical development!

Only about another 2.5 millenia to go before he catches up. Look out world, here he comes.
