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

the people want answers

And are the people in the tub with you right now?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I could swear I wrote "in the room with you right now" but I'm leaving it, this guy is clearly posting from a tub

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

this made me think of the scp that's a bath tub filled with water, where the water and the the tub are a communist and an american libertarian... its such a funny scp

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Tub posting is just pod posting on a budget

my man is telling all his favorite fallacies to his rubber ducky

Rub-a-dub-dub three dorks in a tub.

This is your reply.:

What would Lenin do?

“Trotsky sent a silly letter. We shall neither print it, nor reply.”

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago

Should probably also reply with what John Brown would have done to... just to show that you are being polite by chosing what Lenin did

The kind vladimir ilyich would have shot everyone here

Nobody actually fucking changes minds with "internet debates", especially with bozos like this who have a Ben Shapiro complex that makes their sole goal to DESTROY you with FACTS and LOGIC, no matter how wrong they are in the process.

Either he's stupid and doesn't know this, or he knows this to be the truth and is just doing a half-assed attempt to convince you to entertain his shitty ideas.

Block that motherfucker for your own sanity.

There's a certain kind of person that can be reached, but it has to be a leftist type that fell for liberal bullshit temporarily. I feel like I've been solidly left since I became politically literate, but I fully admit I got sucked up in the Obama years at least for a bit. It didn't take long to realize I was being silly with "harm reduction" and through enough people being flippant with me online back then, I snapped out of it

He's still going? Lmao. You responded?

Of course block him.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 8 months ago

you’re literally screaming “DEBATE ME! DEBATE ME!” and i am not a debate pervert. If all the existing evidence and history wasnt enough to convince you, than you came to your decision through other means, therefore to bring truth back into this conversation is a waste of time, goodbye.

And then all of reddit will stand up and clap.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago

Pretty sure Lenin would have you shot mate.

Link pls I want to bully this nerd

Let's see if we can get him to post hog... post-hog

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

As long as they don't develop a way to punch people over the internet, yes, you should.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

let me know when this drops. I have asses to beat.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

This is your opportunity to get a fash to post hog. Do not waste it!

“I’ll debate you if you send me a picture of your penis. It must be incontrovertibly your penis.”

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Agree to debate him but say it needs to be an informed debate, so you read a book of his choice and he reads a book of your choice, then agree to meet and debate when you’re both finished. DM him in a week saying “done, ready when you are” and when he says he’s done reading the book you recommended (which should be topical and long) message him saying “lmao you fucking loser nerd I didn’t read your shit Zionist propaganda” THEN block

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Slight flaw in your plan: any book you suggest to the lib won't be Harry Potter or Star Wars

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

big-cool I watched Back To the Future, and I know I'm Biff in this scenario, so I know that all I have to do to get you to keep arguing with me is call you a coward.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

If the question is ever "Do I disengage with this internet argument", the correct answer, without fail, is "Yes". Only do it if you're genuinely enjoying it or are at least having an actually constructive discussion with someone.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Tell him you'll only debate him if he posts hog glee

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

An elegant weapon, from a more civilized age...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

You should make an extra account just to block them twice

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

LMAO, what a fucking dork.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

A typical debate guy is not going to pay attention to a word you say. He's basically talking to himself as he basks in the light and glory of his own intellect, guile, wisdom, and humor. And an Israel apologist must be the worst sort of debate guy in the known universe.

With the exception of Dune of course.

Absolutely block him. Your time is valuable and there's a lot more good to be done outside of interacting with him.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I would, because even in the best case scenario they might go and harass someone else. If there's one thing I know about them, is that they NEVER will just let themselves lose an argument.

What is it with them and speaking like anime villains?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Block and move on. Don’t engage debate bros, you’ll feel better. These people are just jacking off to the words they type, they’re not interested in learning.

I’ve just had to block a bunch on Reddit for trying to explain why I don’t care about software piracy when corporations are extracting surplus wealth and raking in record revenue.

What would Lenin do?

Shoot you as a mercy.
