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

The Shadow Over Hexxsmouth
It’s so funny when anyone complains about “echo chambers” when talking about internet communities dedicated to specific themes/topics. If I wanted a dipshit neoliberal yapping I would go back to reddit.
If this were an echo chamber there'd be just one school of thought instead of like fifty. I think there's hoxhaists in here
There's even practicers of Juche necromancy
Some of us have schools of thought so esoteric and irony pilled that we aren't even sure where the bit ends and our real beliefs begin
Why you gotta call people out like this? Why can't you just let us have our fun?
please, do not summon enver
Fitting that they view people with a different opinion the same way reactionary-era Lovecraft viewed tribal people.
Or just like, Finnish people or something. Dude had an advanced degree in racism
Comparing this depiction with the reality of beanis-posting
I've always thought Innsmouth was cottagecore af so this checks out
No QT deep one gf tho :(
I think Dunwich is more cottagecore but also havent gotten around to reading Innsmouth yet, just know the basic plot beats
Also a really nice Electric Wizard track
And a fun 70s horror flick! Top notch mustache on the main homie iirc
If I remember right, the deep ones were all male who mated with human women. Those women are just like....Connecticut fishing town girls.
My favourite bit about Lovecraft was that he voted for Socialist Party, because he absolutely hated the poor and they promised to eliminate poverty.
My favorite is him finding out one of his relatives (his grandmother I think?) was Welsh and completely losing his shit over it, writing numerous letters to his relatives complaining about how they kept this betrayal a secret from him.
If the internet had existed in 1921, Howard would be in the YouTube comment sections on videos with 50 views writing 12 paragraph rage essays over "wokeness" among today's cat owners.
He also married a Jewish woman and ranted to her about Jewish conspiracy.
Whatever gets the poverty eliminated I guess
I have never heard someone use such wonderful language to call my mom a race traitor and me an abomination. Also he couldn't function without an adult woman supervising him.
This needs to be a tagline.
Synthesis. The student protestors are being funded by Dagon. Actually no, that seems like something somebody would say with no sense of humor about it.
That sounds like something Jordan Peterson would say tbh
New tag line?
We don't even isolate ourselves. Other instances preemptively defederate with us
this makes us sound metal af and we are not nearly this cool, i fear
No, I'm actually this cool
i meant with the exception of you. (and maybe....me? possibly????)
