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

We reserve the right to remove information that could cause imminent physical harm to any living being. This includes topics like conversion therapy, unhealthy diets, and dangerous medical procedures. Information that could result in imminent physical harm to property or other living beings may also be removed.

And people pointing out the Democrats are complicit in Genocide apparently.

physical harm to property

bootlicker

You can't harm property, fuckheads

[–] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 58 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Also

property or other living being

Property isn't alive

Maybe the LW admins are slaveowners

[–] Hexboare@hexbear.net 30 points 2 months ago

I was thinking they just wanted to fuck the Eiffel Tower

I think your take is unfortunately more likely

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago

Well they want to emulate spez in every other way, so

I think they're still butthurt about the fact that pets can go vegan and call pets "property".

[–] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 36 points 2 months ago

Worse yet when they justify harming people in the name of protecting private property.

When they're finished licking boots, it's time to lick the wall.

Linkerbaan is god's chosen soldier, destined to preach among those who hate them so that their souls may some day be saved. fidel-salute-big

[–] lil_tank@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago

Medium credibility??? I mean, sure for us that's true but for libs The Guardian has transcended reality and provides only the tuthest of all truths

[–] Chronicon@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago (2 children)

From a mod:

Israel has been committing war crimes in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria for DECADES before Biden and Harris held political office. They are not to blame here, Israel is. Bibi is. Their crimes will continue regardless of support from the US or who is President.

Blame the actual perpetrators, not those you imagine are involved via six degrees of separation.

critical thinking is officially banned on .world data-laughing

[–] WorkingClassCorpse@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I saw an exchange yesterday where a lib was insisting the US is responsible for Israel's genocide in the same way that Sweden is responsible for the Columbine shooting because the gun used was manufactured there.

That exchange actually broke me

[–] destroyamerica@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

lmao I think that was a linkerbaan thread wasn't it? incredible stuff from libs in that thread in general

[–] WorkingClassCorpse@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yup, it was in the 'progressive politics' comm, which is moderated by TokenBoomer who seems to have similar politics to Linkerbann. I've actually never been around so many libs just barely hanging on to the edge like this, I'm more familiar with reddit where there isn't even the pretext of being progressive.

These people are so desperate to hold onto their benevolent self-identity that they will literally say anything to affirm their status in both camps. I have to imagine they are having a quiet crisis of identity behind their phone screen, otherwise I simply cannot fathom how they can be so politically incoherent

I always wonder if that must mean they're on the edge of radicalization. If so, how do we push them over the edge...

[–] WorkingClassCorpse@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's easy to radicalize them, the tricky part is radicalizing them in the right direction

[–] Xavienth@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mean, would be a pretty apt comparison if the Columbine shooters mailed the government of Sweden "we intend to do this thing, please give us guns to do it" and the government of Sweden personally gave them the guns.

So basically the same thing as the gun being manufactured there i guess /s

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

Aside from basically all the details except for people being murdered with the involvement of a weapon that originated in a country, it's a perfect comparison!

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 months ago

Another mod there considered commenting on the mbfc bot about how shit it is spamming their comm.

So yeah not the brightest

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

They can’t even write well.
