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

ok, the possibility of it being a coincidence seems low to me. but again i don't think she would be well versed in nazi lore. although she went to meet zelensky, so she might have caught the disease there.

My 4yo has two of those, they have smiling face on one side and frowning on the other and you can flip them inside out to change their mood / colour, they're super cute.

Those are jellyfishes, not krackens btw. Greta flipped hers on the angry side cause she's pissed is all

your 4 year old is an anti-semite

I literally saw one on the dashboard of a car on my way to get a morning bagel yesterday

it does?

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 72 points 1 year ago

It's literally just a plush. It isn't on top of a globe or a map, it doesn't have grasping tentacles. Literally it just looks like a little decoration for the framing.

It's a fucking plushie, the fuck. If it was laser pointer, she would support space lasers theories?

[–] Magician@hexbear.net 48 points 1 year ago

So where else are you finding her antisemitism/nazi sympathizing?

Because she hasn't done anything else to imply she's anywhere near a cryptofascist.

galaxy-brain my whole life I would hate the Aquarium. I knew what they were up to in there.

jesus fucking christ.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

I didn't know that about this thing. I bought one just because I saw it at the county fair and thought it was cute.

[–] Flaps@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

As you can see the plush rests on a flat surface too, must mean she's giving us dog whistles about flat earth

[–] atomkarinca@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

what the fuck is happening people? have you all read all of these three sentences? or just stopped at the first. i have a daughter and know what plushies are. i know who she is, i know it's a slim chance that she would know and i said that on the original post. i meant that it could be kindly suggested by someone else.

People called you out, because you literally said the possibility of it being a coincidence seems low to you, despite this whole thing being an obvious manufactured controversy. The rest of your post was utter nonsense as a result.

seriously though it's not even a jewish trope it's just a trope. This is contrived from top to bottom.

ok, this just shows my bigotry. i thought it was just a nazi trope.

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You don't have to be hard on yourself if it's just a matter of not knowing something. Besides, you can't be bigoted against nazis.

What does everybody have against cephalopods?

I think changing word coincidence to deliberate might make your point more understandable, to me it reads like "yeah she knows what she is doing, twitter poster might have a point".

Sorry if i came off assholishf, if thats the case meow-hug
