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

Wokeness is when people aren't getting hit by cars

Jordan Peterson would really OWN all of us if he stepped in front of an F350 going 93 mph

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

Come on Jordan prove you aren't woke and do it

[–] Lovely_sombrero@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

The longer that a car doesn't annihilate your torso, the woker you are.

He sure talks like a supervillain a lot.

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago (24 children)

With his benzo habit, I’m looking forward to him becoming an anti woke SoundCloud rapper with a supervillain Schtick. He can team up with the cosplayer who designed captain ancap.

JP becoming right wing MF Doom is both so stupid it couldn't ever happen and so stupid it's the only thing that could happen next.

He just wants truck-kun to send him back to the isekai he thought he was in during the coma

He's more benzo than man now.

"Woke death" sound so much more elegant using the French term: "la petit mort"

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Why do so many people like this guy, again?

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He gives people really simple, fortune cookie level advice, but he sandwiches it in a bunch of fancy big "academic" words and parables. So his audience likes him because he gives them simple solutions to complex problems and makes them feel smart for thinking that cleaning their room will magically fix all of their issues. He gives people faux confidence, which is why is audience is so rabid and loyal, like any good con artist, he has his audience addicted.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've met a casual fan of his IRL and he was a Joe Rogan talker. As in he spoke like he was Joe Rogan doing his podcast IRL, a loooooot of bro dudes do this.

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, that whole CHUD Joe Rogan/Ben Shapiro/Peterson group all feed into each other and turn their audience's brain into weird dudebro mush.

Or maybe their brains were already mush and the dudebros just think that if they imitate their heroes enough their "intelligence" and popularity will rub off onto them.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's a slightly younger than me dude bro type. And I'm talking like 2-3 years, I noticed back in high school that my dudebros were more classico 80s jock style and even a year or two under they had a different flair. They were all big fans of Sublime and Red Hot Chili Peppers and most went through a river phase and I'm pretty sure that's the problem right there.

Elaboration edit: they all suddenly became 'open minded' and 'interested in what you have to say' and seemed to take it as an invitation to interview people as a form of normal conversation where they're not conversing but giving the Joe Rogan replies of 'oh yeh' and 'that's really interesting' while clearly absorbing nothing and contributing less. They pretend to be curious but think just being a blank slate who adds nothing means they're learning. It's airheadedness posing as some sort of open minded enlightenment cause they went to a festival and did mushrooms once.

They have very messy rooms.

Capitalism is so innovative that it managed to create the world's only fascist mode of transportation - the car.

Given how the dude put himself into a coma, that technically checks, I guess.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

It's woke to be awake

[–] Raebxeh@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

JP has been an oil shill for years now. It’s no surprise he’s also big into the pro-car conspiracy theories

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 1 year ago

Bro is definitely still on the good stuff.

Not getting killed by cars is woke, and so is reporting on pepple not being killed by cars. But the woke death will soon visit them? So if you don't get killed by cars, you'll die from woke? This is obviously the smartest man ever

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What's he even mad at here? Limiting street parking is woke? Why? How? I genuinely don't understand this. It's like seeing a story about changing sewer layout design or something and getting upset about it.

[–] RedQuestionAsker2@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cars = freedom

Woke = not freedom

Limiting parking = limiting cars = limiting freedom

Limiting freedom = woke

theory-gary

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 year ago

Unironically this is the reason IMHO

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

It’s like seeing a story about changing sewer layout design or something and getting upset about it.

In 1900, some shitheads in Poland, with significant help of tsarist okhrana, spun the planned building of sewers in Warsaw (sorely needed as it was almost 700k people city without one) into Jewish conspiracy - title says "Sewers of the city of Warsaw as Judaism and charlatanerie tool to destruction of Polish agriculture and extermination of Slavic population along the Vistula river"

Does this peterson guy know that the AP is the core of the empire's propaganda machine?

[–] NewAcctWhoDis@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Don't even have to finish the question.

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

do people even look at his tweets? how many likes did this get

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

The god of irony and hubris could do something extremely funny right now with Peterson but chooses not to

Do they want r/atheism to win?

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

One of the most interesting thinkers of this century no doubt
