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

Why are they debating the trueanon board game

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

The episode of Seinfeld where they carry the board game to commute with because they haven’t finished the game

[–] regul@hexbear.net 50 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Who even is the audience here? Like I'm not even sure who the audience is for any one of them individually much less together.

[–] Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net 45 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Whoever wants to see their favorite debate bro is only there for the person they like, then they can work themselves into knots about how they epically owned the rest with their superior facts and logic.

[–] regul@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah but like. What are the demographics here? Like I'm trying but I just can't imagine there being people who are like "Aw hell yeah new Krassenstein video dropped" or whatever. Are they all like white suburban 15 year-olds? That's the only person I can imagine.

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

Wine moms and wine dads

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Destiny’s fans are 15 year olds who just discovered politics and don’t want to be lumped in with 4chan, and 25-30 year old lanyards at the Institute for Peaceful War

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

it's literally just destiny and alex jones fans. no one unironically pays attention to any of these other people. so /r/neoliberal and info wars.

[–] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

I'm a pretty big conspiracy person and I've never watched Alex Jones

[–] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Nah im sure Greenwald will pull in some stupidpol losers

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Can a rogue ball lightning zap all of these goons, pretty please?

[–] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Comrade Zeus do us a solid here

[–] motherofmonsters@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

If Israel ever wanted to make the case for targeting civilians, now’s their chance

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 35 points 2 years ago

Can't wait for some amazing discourse such as Destiny looking up "America" on Wikipedia in the middle of the debate to back up his point that he just made up

[–] RION@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

They look like two house flippers asking for another bridge loan

[–] HeavenAndEarth@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Why did they pick the most unflattering picture from each participant

[–] Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago

Those are the best pictures they could find.

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago

why does destiny look like he just finished up a month-long horrorshow acid trip in the middle of the jungle somewhere? he looks...greasy? or moist somehow? it's seriously offputting

[–] Doubledee@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can we get a Greenwald emoji from this nightmare portrait? He looks like he's intentionally giving a villain face after he stabbed you in the chest and pushed you off a building.

[–] Huldra@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

The Krassensteins have the "Photobombed by an international child sex trafficker" vibe, while Destiny looks like an esports pro that people cheer for ironically.

Alex Jones somehow looks the most normal out of all of them but its cancelled out by being Alex Jones, and the last guy they literally just googled his name and took the picture from his wikipedia page, embarrassing.

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

:what-the-hell:

[–] Cromalin@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i cannot believe i saw a greenwald defender like a week ago

[–] Huldra@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Literally the only argument you could make for him, that isnt "bigotry is actually epic", is the Norman Finkelstein argument of doing more good than bad, but its just obviously not true here, both in terms of the "good" Glem does, and the bad.

[–] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

he's nervous but on the surface he looks like confetti

[–] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No but really, what is that thing about to hit me in the face? A pipe bomb? A microphone?

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

The former- wait oh fuck I meant to throw it the other way just toss it back to me oh god oh fuck

[–] ergifruit@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i would rather have my balls crushed under an industrial press than know literally anything about this

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

id have my balls crushed

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Destiny must be low hanging fruit at this point. glucker alex-supplements "buy my video game / vitamins!" is funny. You"d think something like a J6 "debate" is beneath him.

I've never heard Krassensteins or Beattie.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Krassensteins are like body builder twins who were always the top replies to Trump. It was never good, just "Mr Trump sir you're a treasonous Drumpf"

Then they wrote a children's book where Robert Mueller is like a superhero or something

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Mr. powell-propaganda Weapons of Mass Destruction Mueller a superhero. Oh my maybe-later-honey !

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Not sure about Beattie, the Krassensteins were epic tweetback guys in the early Trump administration. Think they got in some sort of economic/legal trouble but I don’t remember exactly.

[–] motherofmonsters@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

Omg. Fuck the Krabbensteins.

The last “debate” they were on, they were arguing to Alex Jones that they in fact knew “good globalists”

Dog, they don’t mean “globalists” they mean “Jews”

[–] CptKrkIsClmbngThMntn@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Didn't they come get in arguments with people on the old sub?

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

yep they got absolutely trashed too

[–] motherofmonsters@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Jones is on a full bore media blitz to get viewers before he gets banned again

[–] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

Never been so glad to have grass-touching plans that night

[–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

I'm gonna touch grass so hard it'll violate the Pauli exclusion principle

[–] SovietWaveGoddess@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

i'd watch clips of deranged alex jones but thats about it

[–] GreenWater@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Who are these people?

[–] RedCat@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Half of them look like they just shit their pants

[–] SoloboiNanook@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago
[–] M68040@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

I'm gonna go ahead and listen to Dan and JorDan burning up brain cells listening to it for me.

The Krassensteins set off my "These guys are grifters" sense

[–] mar_k@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

remember when one of the Krassenstein brothers did an ama or whatever on our old sub after being banned from Twitter?
