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.

Once in a blue moon I run across this absolute gross buffoon's videos. Its very annoying cause I only use newpipe and even then I see videos pop in searches. I remember a video where this fella watched hasan interviewed on piers morgan. Him and his chat got really pissed about hasan saying Israel bombed hospitals. Very annoying but also pretty sad cause there's high amount viewers who consume it and internalize it.

All the gamergate ethics in journalism adjacent people including this streamer have been for a while become "experts" spouting opinions on world events. Lot of those started latching on to anything that is currently pushed by Western military hawks.

I always get recommended his fuckin' vids because I watch game content and it is just a gross deludge of him giving chud reactions to something being "woke" or "cringe" or equally vapid.
