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 🤔

The second bit with Mr. Nomad is much more infuriating to me than Luckey. Luckey is a ghoul but it’s typical ghoul shit: war machines, American exceptionalism, justified the two with the “threat” of Russia and China even though they’ll be inevitably used against “underdeveloped” nations no where near superpower status (which has a domestic equivalent in the creeping security state justified with the threat of terrorism but overwhelmingly used for the war on drugs).

Nomad, on the other hand, how willfully ignorant do you need to be to think efficiencies in the military industrial complex would lead to reduced government spending? When has that ever lead to anything other than more spending? This is the most brainworms part of libertarians, they simultaneously think capitalists are good for putting the profit motive above all else but then also think “good” capitalists follow this morality play version of capitalism with all these rules that go against the profit motive.

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
