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

There might literally not be one single person on the planet less qualified to speak to the issue of "reasonable spending" than the guy who spent $44 billion dollars to make everybody hate Twitter.

to make everybody hate Twitter.

That's a lofty goal though

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ehh, everybody already hated it before but they hated it while using it.

He made everybody hate it in a way that was different enough to actually kill it (slowly). It's already the same as seeing a greentext to most people at this point.

That guy could like pay for people to crew tall ships and sail around doing mock pirate battles and treasure hunts or whatever fantasy he wanted to live out.

And he chooses to do this.

In this moment I am euphoric. Not because of any phony God's blessing. But because I have a nice rack. very-smart

The bourgeoisie is in it's decadent phase and we should mock them and then annihilate them

It brings me some comfort to know for a fact that Elon Musk is worse at being a Poster than I will ever be at anything

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

It's practically his job, too

I guess you could argue about all that in 2016, but we've seen what he did and what he's willing to do now, to be pretty fucking certain none of these things will ever happen under a republican president, and even less so under another Trump presidency.

Only the democrats have the know-how to protect their “nation of immigrants” from being invaded by hordes of immigrants while not changing the imperialist policies that cause mass immigration in the first place! Kamala is brat and girlboss and republicans could never do genocide as good as her.

Great man theory is a cancer on society. Elon thinks he's one of them.

Oh but when I get high off my own farts I'm a pervert?
