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

MODERATORS
All of liberal politics is projection.
This is aneurism bingo
Lib: "bernie bros are transphobic"
Same lib: "if you're not super hot, maybe dress normally and don't present yourself as a transvestite"
Can we take a moment to acknowledge how astonishingly sexist and misogynistic this comment is? (Since you've already covered the transphobia angle here.)
She's telling a woman that if she isn't meeting her personal standards of beauty then she needs to cover up and dress in a way that suits her preference. She's literally body-shaming a woman and policing her self expression.
I would put money on Wu absolutely castigating a man who was in her presence if he said something like "Disgusting! Cover yourself up and show some decency. Women like you have no right to dress that way in public!!" to a woman and yet here she is doing this very thing to a trans woman.
Imagine having the audacity to complain about sexism and transphobia when you're clearly a very willing proponent of it, simply because you see trans women as being lesser than other women. (Opportunistic Feminists Don't Abandon Your Principles When Encountering a Trans Woman Challenge [impossible])
There's a special place in the gulag for people like Brianna Wu.
if we've got the transphobia and misogyny stuff covered now, can we take another step back to acknowledge how baffling it is to think that bennie is "not super hot" in the first place
She got the Xeni brain.
what set you from, homie?
A classic.
“I have here in my hand a list of 205 [State Department employees] that were known to the Secretary of State as being members of the Communist Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping the policy of the State Department.”
landlord says what?
