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

This poster has twice as many cranks on it since the last time it was posted a week ago. The crank roster doubled in a week.
// I went to their twitter and found that the image in the OP is also slightly out of date, September 16. The new roster now also includes Jordan Peterson and Brandon Straka.
American idea of "resistance" is being a naughty boy who says all the forbidden words and doesnt eat his veggies

I forget, what was it that fried his brain again?
It was combination of a legitimate heartbreak seeing Bernie 2020 falling apart and covid lockdown. Sad, but many such cases.
I never paid much attention to Russel Brand but I thought he was some sort of left-libertarian?
Labels mean nothing, especially for a guy like that. When his SA allegations came out he became just another fascist weirdo.
Nah, his brain melted over COVID and became a Qanon adjacent "skeptic" type character.
zuby
fucking lol
I think this is more of a farewell tour. Right at the time 
is making the rounds again. So Imma placing my bet on 
Could have saved a lot fo reading time by just making that "human garbage" logo 4 times as big and replacing the entire written out line up with that.
Lol "it's like starwars guys!!"
One of the engineers from Prometheus is speaking, wow
The black goo is the worst thing that ever happened to the Alien franchise
Eh. I can enjoy it. I maintain about 3 different canons in my head depending on how I feel.
Ultimately the Alien franchise was the worst thing that ever happened to Alien. You can't involve that many creatives and expect an internally consistent narrative.
People agree that Alien and Aliens are among the best sci-fi horror movies ever made. I think what those two movies capture (amongst other) is that they are about survival and triumph of human spirit overcoming isolation and hostility of space. Personally I think the 90s kitsch offshoot of this franchise, whether it the games, comics, toys, kinda capture the gist of it. In all, all you need is a tough-as-nail competent protagonist to cheer on, who is stuck in isolated setting and had to fight Xenomorph(s) against all odds. I personally couldn't care less about the black goo and Wayland Enterprise lore as franchise (TM). It doesn't help that Prometheus and Covenant have incompetent doofus crew. Romulus doofus crew can somewhat be justified since they are teenagers, but at that point I already hate everything that has to do with the black goo.
Allah please send a meteorite at the conference building
