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 [email protected]

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

Who is James Woods? What happened to James Woods? Has anyone checked up on Cat Turd recently?

all I can tell from this is Ben is doing a both-sides

it looks like the catturd is celebrating being blocked by Musk, unless that is supposed to be an angry fist pumping?

Found this article about how Musk is blocking folks for complaining about his plan to remove the block feature.

Elon Musk has blocked James Woods on X after the actor criticized the tech mogul’s move to eliminate the block function from the platform formerly known as Twitter.
“I’m having a good time blocking people who complain that blocking is going away,” Musk posted on Sunday, along with a crying-laughing emoji.

So maybe catturd is celebrating being mocked (getting attention from melon-musk)?

James Woods calls Musk 'just another greedy capitalist'!??!?!?

“Musk, whom I once championed, is only doing this to protect his advertisers anyway. Users of X are mere pawns to turn the site into an electronic shopping mall. The man I thought was a defender of free speech is just another greedy capitalist. Disappointing, but not surprising.”

What is happening in the right-wing griftersphere?

I’ve received skepticism when bringing this up, but American fascism is currently doing a distributed breadth first search to figure out how to best coopt socialist language without calling it socialism and create false consciousness.

I hate it when they do this shit. Part of the reason I came to left politics was the fact that I saw them as a chance to not only reject every single conservative idea, but adopt positions on everything that they could not touch and would find fundamentally unpalatable.

I am trying to get away from them.

If a conservative starts agreeing with me, I just keep doubling down until I get a “well, I don’t know about that”. Works like a charm. I’ve been pleasantly surprised several times while talking about union politics with entry-level factory workers. But them’s just material conditions.
