Bonus:

The smol bean heckin democracy puppers need autonomous death robots to protect themselves from scary authoritarians 🥰 Also, bad wars is unacceptable, you need to vote to make sure we get good wars!

On one hand, unimaginable destruction of human life, on the other, lower taxes. I'm torn 🤔

A bit of a side tract, but ffs how shitty it is that these ghouls have just taken all these words and names from lotr and use them in their imperialism to make it sound cool and good actually. Our poor good western world just fighting againts the dark lords of the world, just like Aragorn. It is nauseating because it is so deeply disingenious (unless these people believe in their own bullshit).

"Palantir" as a surveillance company. Negl I have started having extremely lucid daydreams of handcuffing techbro and death merchant CEOs to rebar posts cemented in the ground; surrounded by kerosene-doused tinder and setting each of them ablaze, one by one.

Well, they ran out of all the cool names from the Cowboy universe like Apache and Tomahawk.

an underappreciated milestone of the modern era is when the settler-colonialists ran out of frontier and had to start naming their weapons and technology after fictional genocides

Because these people think of the world in terms of LOTR just like liberals think in terms of Harry Potter

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
