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

ok but it would be extremely funny to just shoot trump dead in the courtroom

I was just telling my partner this

It would be amazing S-Tier shit

Which is exactly why it won't happen

It’s cute when liberals think they’re clever and act snarky when in reality they would shrivel up and shit their pants if they came across a button that would give Trump and only Trump a greasy heart attack

What a crompopulously recrustable day. Tommy need drinky

Imagine one upping the cringe

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago

I really despise their obsession with political fan fiction. It makes my skin crawl.

Okay but this actually makes me wonder: seeing as Biden is already overseeing a genocide in Gaza, why not just ban the Republican party or outright have Trump's citizenship revoked? Fascist yes, but he's already overseeing a genocide that's killed around 30,000 people, and the libs are promising us that Trump becoming president is going to be the absolute worst thing ever, so just have his citizenship revoked, or better yet, ban the Republican party and force conservatives to do better.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

Yeah this right here is what I've been saying to liberals. If Republicans are such a threat, why not make it illegal to be one? Liberals think a society has to give fascists a fair shot at taking power or else...that's also fascism? I don't get what they want.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They want to lose and then gracefully accept that defeat.

It's the ideal state for liberals because it allows them to maintain the moral high ground but without the drawback of being expected to actually do anything.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

This right here ^

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Liberals think a society has to give fascists a fair shot at taking power or else...that's also fascism?

That is, i think, what most of them believe and more or less how they would seriously articulate it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

You see, the law doesn't protect brown people ~~on the other side of the planet.~~ So genociding gazans is just a difference in opinion and nothing more. (Except if you have the wrong opinion, then you're antisemitic)

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago

If the Civil War tv series was even close to plausible - there would be no map. The libs would fight hard. But they'd so so with the GOP against us. It's better to get the best scraps that way.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

it would be funny in this particular case if some redditlibs got secret service showing up to their houses for threats made

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

I looooove reporting libs on reddit for breaking their precious civility. I've gotten a decent amount of them banned, and even more comments deleted.

I know that won't stop fascism, but it pisses them off, and maybe one or two will self reflect and realize they're just completely sucked into some sort of media bubble that has convinced them that Biden is actually doing super cool stuff behind the scenes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

lmao that's awesome, but if anything they'll just double down on a new amount i imagine

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago (5 children)

I fucking wish this is what would happen if trump wins

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Americans really believe that the US military is the only thing between "civilisation and barbarism" don't they? They really don't understand that the US military is responsible for at least 90% of the "barbarism" of the last 75 years.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

maybe not the military outright, but US influence as a whole for sure

and yeah, libs truly buy into the "shining city on the hill" thing

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

nono, we are well aware that the 'war on drugs' has been our foreign policy to subvert and inject puppets into foreign states while culling specific demographics from gaining stability within our own nation by entrapping their members in for-profit prisons to act as slave labor... because what's a little international and domestic turmoil if it means we can say we're winning an unwinnable war, right?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

drones striking schools and town halls across America because “they’re hiding Antifa traitors”

I wonder if there are any real world parallels to this. And if so, surely the poster would support the side opposed to bombing civilian buildings because there are claims that there are terrorists inside.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

But if Trump wins...

[Objectively good ending]

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

lol, it's too late for this scenario to destroy the world.

North Korea already started a nuclear war and ended the world.

Russia already started a nuclear war that ended the world.

Iran already started a nuclear war and ended the world.

Israel's genocide of Gaza already started world war 3 and ended the world.

Iraq used their WMDs and started world war 3 and ended the world.

The doomsdays they've promised us for decades have already annihilated the world; it's over, go home to the rubbles of your house and go to sleep already. Trump can't do anything that all these doomsdays we've been promised haven't already done.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Iran will nuke Israel

Think you've got that backwards champ

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

If this argument is legitimate, what would stop Biden from canceling the election and declaring himself president for life?

The main thing stopping that is the democrat fetishization of norms because they'd rather the country be fascist than effectively wield power against fascists. Also for Biden "for life" would be, what, 6 months?

"In brutal authoritarian bad countries, the current leader can have the former leader shot with no consequences."

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

That username lol

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

The really funny thing is the answer to "Oh so Biden can just do whatever he wants to Trump then?" Is no because dems would immediatly impeach him to try to get brownie points from republicans.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Lib Harvey Oswald redacting Trump would be the funniest outcome tho

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

"Maybe now we can start losing elections to co.petent effective fascists"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Libs are just conservatives in mindset, they support their party regardless of policy because it is blind loyalty and also to rub it onto their enemy.

They can't confront the present issues just like the conservatives so their only solution is for people to shut up.

Trump as libs describe him, should be in jail. If Jan 6 was an insurrection and lib claims of an imminent dictatorship are true, then they should jail him and every other leader involved. Instead they arrested some nobodies, and say only vote can stop Trump.

Its incredibly hypocritical on their part. You can't claim to be trying to stop fascism and all you're doing is promotions for the DNC - a corporate enity fir whom elections are a multi billion dollar business. Its all hollow.
