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

Only somewhat related, but conservatives are whining a lot about seeing Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce everywhere and are claiming it's an op. You'd think they'd be happy about the world's most famous couple being white and heterosexual and one half of the couple playing for a team whose name and logo is a problematic Native American stereotype, but nope.
It's also incredibly funny seeing their posts saying "This is NOT organic!" Like yeah no shit dude, the most famous pop star at the height of her fame has an army of PR people promoting her.
The right are masters at moving the goal posts, it's not enough to have the two most famous people on earth being white and rich but they have to explicitly support MAGA/fascism/racial holy war/whatever shit chuds are on now too.
Not to disagree with the general sentiment, but the “on earth” made me giggle as this post is the first time I’ve heard her boyfriend’s name
I still don't remember the boyfriend's name
I legit learned about her new boyfriend from a Meat Canyon sketch (all the CW's for that surprisingly chill dude's content), so that goes to show my knowledge on celebrity news.
Idk about "on earth" tbh I don't even know who this football guy is as a non-yankoid
He's famous now for kissing her.
He's a football player for the Kansas City Chiefs. Got really famous when the Chiefs were playing against the Philadelphia Eagles, who his brother plays for, in the Super Bowl last year.
Hm thanks for the info
Football is part of the right-wing cultural sphere and Taylor Swift isn't. Right-wing football fans are being forced to acknowledge that Taylor Swift exists, and that causes them dissonance because they're supposed to live in a bubble. Their natural response is that this must be a conspiracy of some sort. If it's not some sort of liberal plot to (insert irrational fear here), then it means that they and the things they like live in the same bubble as other people and the things those people like.
Taylor Swift has already rigged the Super Bowl to ensure a Chiefs win, after which the Chiefs logo will be pulled away to reveal the visage of Ahmed Yassin. The Fida'i will then start playing over the loudspeakers as our brave Hamas fighters paraglide into the stadium to massacre all white people a la the Haitian Revolution in 1804.
Just call them sjws for hating on a white heterosexual couple and watch themselves twist themselves into a knot. Then just reply with "sure thing bro".
The Rothschild and Soros bow down to Swifties. Stay woke
They want them to be republican too.
I thought Kelce played for the Eagles. Or did he get traded recently?
That’s his brother
Other Kelce.
