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

He really should have bought Reddit instead of Twitter, because he posts like the quintessential redditor

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 31 points 8 months ago

We just can't have anything funny

If only he'd waited a few years for the Reddit IPO...

Cannibalism? What the fuck?

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 57 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He's talking to renowned brain genius Ian Miles Cheong about Haitian immigrants. Musk is worried that they're all cannibals, and NBC published an article pointing out that this is an insane thing to be worried about. They're both mad about it.

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 53 points 8 months ago

If you're thinking that everyone from Haiti is a potential cannibal then you might just be a teensy bit racist as hell

Elon Musk believes that ‘eat the rich’ is literal.

I-was-saying When I worked at an Amazon warehouse I would debate what barbecue sauce went best with fire roasted Bezos.

Wait its not? You can't promise me a good time and take it away like that

Well, call me crazy but I thought Angela Chao was delicious.

It's cool how he's just digging his heels in deeper into fascism and nothing bad is happening to him.

I wish someone would [redacted] him, that'd be hilarious

he could have a boating accident

Dude just really wants to meet Robert Maxwell.

His money is literally the only thing he has and the only reason anyone interacts with him. The Tesla billionaire drowning incident will have consequences for him eventually. He will eventually lose his money and then his suicidal flaming downward spiral will really begin.

Why would it? He's a billionaire and the rest of the ruling elite think the same as he does.

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 49 points 8 months ago

Cannibalism huh? Elon, your Afrikaner is showing

Too bad we can’t screen immigrants for racism

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 48 points 8 months ago

innocent Americans

Weird time to suddenly start caring about Native Americans, but ok.

[–] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 45 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

if centering my life and platform around dealing with the abundant trickster fae that ask for your name to whisk it away from you makes me "delusional" and "not attached to reality" then I will gladly accept such labels my-hero

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 23 points 8 months ago (3 children)

How do we not have an :unseelie: emote?

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago

Because the mods are tankies who want to take away our freedom to believe in the fae

The last time we had an Gaelic pronunciation struggle session it left twelve dead and caused an international incident in Malaysia.

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 22 points 8 months ago

you can't unseelie what you can't see

[–] DayOfDoom@hexbear.net 41 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I do think we should screen for cannibals on Hexbear though.

[–] DayOfDoom@hexbear.net 40 points 8 months ago (3 children)

The vibes are FUCKED and I think it might be because of a latent cannibalism stewing across the usership.

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 27 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's not what we mean by eating ass

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 37 points 8 months ago

No, Elon, it's the fact you believe there to be DEPRAVED CANNIBAL HORDES, rather than just simple Global South migrants...

[–] WeedReference420@hexbear.net 36 points 8 months ago

Reaching critical levels of divorced energy here

[–] ComradeChairmanKGB@lemmygrad.ml 26 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If wanting to eat the rich makes me a "cannibal", then I would gladly accept such a label!

Shame on Muskrat. Shame, shame, shame.

I can imagine the WSJ op-ed...

An abhorrence of cannibalism does not axiomatically make one "right-wing". Yet such smears against individuals understandably concerned about national sovereignty are prevalent on social media...

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 23 points 8 months ago

Was very confused for a bit where the cannibalism was supposedly coming from, but they’re just dusting off the classics of Afro Caribbean racism. Are they going to start scaremongering about voodoo zombies too?

[–] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 19 points 8 months ago

Are you now, or have you ever been a cannibal?

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago

I can see the future, the swirling and mixing of tendrils of fascist conspiracy

They're gonna combine this with the fent panic to try and argue that migrants are like zombies who must be self-defensed

[–] motherofmonsters@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Putting aside the boulder of racism, does he think we don’t check people for criminal backgrounds?
