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

People who interact with normal people don't talk like that.

Long ago, these people would have been hermits, isolated for their antisocial behavior.

Maybe we need to start punishing people by taking away their smartphones.

[–] LigOleTiberal@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago

the internet has allowed the village whacko from every village to organize into large groups and take over lmao.

[–] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is a bad take. Without smartphones we had KKK and other reactionary groups. People were always able to organize around reactionary causes.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

People were always able to organize around reactionary causes.

Yours is a bad take because it ignores the speed, efficiency, and ease of organizing, sometimes world-wide, that modern technology grants to such groups.

Claiming it was always absolutely 100% the same ever and ever, regardless of material conditions, is a thought terminating cliche.

[–] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The point is that those people would not be hermits isolated from the society. They'd be organizing in their local chapters of KKK or NSDAP. Laura Loomer is not your average frothing chud who got radicalized.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My point is they would still have significantly limited and localized reach and would have to operate and function as semi-autonomous cells instead of a larger networked whole.

[–] AdlachGyfiawn@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Also true of communists, however. You'd effectively be abandoning comrades in rural America or anywhere in the South.

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

The internet has accelerated organizing among every political group. I'm ok with Loomer types getting exposed in return for having places like Hexbear stalin-heart

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

My point, again, is that conditions do change.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago

Behold the master race: Laura Loomer handcuffing herself to one half of a double door and being laughed at by everyone walking through the other.

lol, wild. I had heard the name a bunch but never looked her up before. Jesus Christ:

In April 2023 it was reported that Donald Trump wanted to hire Loomer for a campaign role.[16][17] However the idea was said to have been met with heavy resistance from Trump's team,[18] as well as warnings from Marjorie Taylor Greene over hiring a "documented liar"

what level of loser fuck up do you have to be on for MTG to call you full of shit.

[–] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

I was ready for it to be bad, I read the title and peppered myself for the worst, but WOW, how do you have a moment like that caught on camera and not retire from public life forever?

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

I don't think I've seen this before and its very funny to me that the nazi is clearly uncomfortable and trying to be polite

[–] gueybana@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

This inability to get laid would destroy the credibility of any woman worth her salt but the right really just breed the best.

This incoherent screed is drej worthy.

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She's practically confirming the statement from Trump's own secret service that his ear wasn't grazed by a bullet but rather cut by some sort of debris.

If you keep bringing that point up, "no no I was totally grazed!", when 1) no one has discussed it since the day of and 2) no one gives a fuck about any of it now, I'm just going to reflexively assume they're being overly defensive over the whole thing... the way liars are. The false indignation of "how dare you, sir!" shit.

Also in a democracy politicians' jobs are to "pander." Or by a more correct name... "promise the electorate things they need."

Unfortunately for everyone, Kamala is actually not pandering to the masses. Only to small business shitclowns and DoD contractors.

[–] DrJenkem@lemmy.blugatch.tube 2 points 2 months ago

If half the things Republicans said about Harris were true, she would be well on the way to becoming the most based president we've ever had.

But sadly, no, she's just like every other generic shitlib.

[–] TheBroodian@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

She has the most colonized brain

[–] Tripbin@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

Shes gonna lose a lot of her southern base if she goes after collard greens.

[–] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So Laura was the last person Trump was talking to before the debate.

Man that’s a lot of stuff that offends her, she sounds like an easily triggered snowflake

[–] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

mine exploded by the 8th word the shrapnel has severely injured my partner jeeze you weren't kidding

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

Didn't Loomer handcuff herself to the Twitter office building to protest her ban? Turns out the ban was them trying to save her from herself.

[–] LigOleTiberal@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

if I had x I would ask LL what 80 year old man dick tastes like.

I would also encourage her to break up melania and Donald trump and marry him.

she is insane enough to may be be the next trump honestly.

[–] YourMom@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

She just would never make it. Even the some of trumpy people in her base would eat her alive

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

How does this type of crazy even function?

[–] Tripbin@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

Straight up "Fuchi from a Junji Ito manga" looking ass motherfucker.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

I'll fix that. Sorry!

[–] Andrzej3K@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

I mean she's right that every American deserves to be upset

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

Somehow, even after listening to hours of content and reading dozens of articles on Loomer's insanity, I was still a little bit shocked by how quickly the hitler particles spewed out.

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Who is this again?

I always confuse this one with the one that got shot on Jan6.
