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

was he always off the deep end or has it been a long slide? either way he'll never find his way to the shores of sanity
He got a gnarly throat disease a while back, that left him non verbal for a few years. Around that time he became withdrawn and astranged and he started spending all his time online. That's when he went off the deep end.
I think a lot of maga people are actually lonely.
Loneliness does explain it for a not-insignificant number of these types. It perpetuates itself. The more conspiratorial you get the more you alienate others. The more alienated you become the more lonely you get. The circle gets smaller and smaller. It's why I have a small degree of pity for the maga types. Not enough to stop me from mocking them or thinking that their relatives and friends deserve to cut them off for being toxic. But it's still kinda sad. That was somebody's parent or kid. A childhood friend. A trusted mentor or promising student.
Or you're the guy who draws Dilbert. The man is a cautionary tale at this point.
