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

HE COMMENTED ON CIVIL RIGHTS:

When asked: Would you have said the same thing during the civil rights movement?

He replied: "What a ridiculous and self-serving oversimplification to imply the civil rights movement was successful because people stood in the street. It's very simple, just get out of the road"

Here's the link to the video clips.

He also said this:

"What gives you the unique moral authority to break the law because of what you believe in?... It's narcissistic and entitled. That's insane. It's like these people think the world revolved around their issue..."

The pic is just a pic I found of him.

Edit: Also, if people think he doesn't matter, he's literally more popular than Hasan, especially when it comes to gaming shit.

Legit fascist. I'm not even kidding or exaggerating in the slightest. People who spout shit like this or agree with it would not care about colonialism or slavery or anything else that we now recognize as "bad" back when they occurred if doing so inconvenienced them in the slightest. So, where would that leave the people who would be suffering? Legit couldn't be trusted.

People like this legit would not have fought the Nazis

Asmongold during 1930s Germany: I do not care about the problems of the communists or the socialists or the trade unionists or the Jews but I do care if these people bomb the trains to protest their plights. In that case, I shall support the government! What gives you the right to break laws -

Asmongold during the 1940s Germany: Wait a second? Why am I being sent to a "labor camp"? I just want to play my games in peace! Somebody help!

Asmongold is American so in the 40s he'd just be parroting American wartime propaganda against the Nazis lol

Or part of the German American Bundt

If they lived in an Allied country then they would. They're not exactly independent thinkers. If the bourgeois parties are telling them to fight the Nazis, they're going to fight the Nazis.

And if they lived in an Axis power they'd gladly fight for the Nazis too

Of course.
