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

(dunk tank for the alt-right youtuber, not the OP who collected the information and posted it)

TLDR: 14/88 memes, Hitler's b'day memes, Tucker Carlson watch parties, and following Proud Boys and Libs of Tiktok.

Never was that big into Internet Historian, but I guess I'll remove the few videos I had in my watch later and tell youtube to stop recc'ing the channel now.

Whew. I guess you either go the idubbbz route and apologize/repent for all your past edginess and denounce that version of you and all the fans who still hold on to it or you become a nazi.

Well, there is a third option. You could be like H3 and seem all progressive and reformed till Israel starts genociding kids and then its "wat about hummus tho" and both-siding it till you've purged the leftist audience you were trying to build.

Can you tell I'm disappointed and still bitter?

That much was obvious. I've heard that Wendigoon is also pretty fashy which is a lot more disappointing for me.

Oof, I agree that IH was easy to clock but what’s this about Wendigoon? I’ve only seen a couple and he seemed…generic. Not doubting, just ootl

So I don't know all the stuff, but he's apparently a libertarian and a big gun guy. Also he sort of started the boogaloo boys. Called himself BoogalooBoi on some gun forum, they dress like him. He's distanced himself from it but it's obvious he is aware of the value of an apolitical personal brand and when he did address it, he seemed non-committal. He's also a sunday school teacher, but that rates low on the sus-o-meter compared to the rest.

That boog shit is pretty pretty damning. Thanks for clueing me in.

I was also really pretty surprised when I first saw it. I mean he seems like the most mild guy ever.

I saw someone talking about it in a youtube comment and googled it, this is what came up.

E: the libertarian and gun stuff is commented on in lots of places, I don't know where I saw it first.

Yeah, I think the only political video I’ve seen of him is the one about how the FBI assassinated MLK Jr., and that wasn’t bad at all. He’s probably lib but I’ve never seen anything to indicate he’s fashy.
