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

conservatives (who are actually liberals)

Wow, they finally realized it.

It's a classic No True Scotsman fallacy at work.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, it's a conservative wiping the scales from their eyes (albeit momentarily) and realizing liberals and conservatives are just two sides of the capitalism party, which is liberalism.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't think they realized that at all, even momentarily. They're just calling themself the one true conservative for not seeing the Barbie movie lol.

You know sometimes I have to admit I feel a bit frustrated about how jaded I am towards so much media now since becoming a leftist. There are days I do kinda wish I could just clap like a seal and enjoy the latest Marvel nonsense without a hint of cynicism.

Shit like this makes me realize how much fucking worse it is on the flip side..and that makes me so fucking happy.

We had basically won the culture war but dropped Oppenheimer and Barbie on them anyway

Historical events are designed, by the woke left, to make Americans feel bad about their country.

Historical events

Nolan conveniently omitted a lot of the scientific contributions of the sad booba waifu that makes the Great Man feel like a god while fucking her, so there was some creative license taken that freeze-gamer gaters should actually appreciate for being in their favor if they weren't ignorant.

EDIT: And the movie also omits a lot of other women involved with the project, because Nolan.

Reenacting the Alamo where the heroic all female joint Barbie-Mexican army takes back a pillow fort from slavers

Imagine if you will, a world where men cry in the corner for fear of the complete unraveling of civilization... All because two mid pop culture movies became popular...

You have entered the BudLite Zone.

Their only hope to reclaim their standing in the culture war is to buy millions of Sound of Freedom tickets

removed

now that's a name I've not heard in a long time

edit: Guess they remove that portmanteau of feminist & nazi fair enough, still been a long damn time since I've seen someone use it. They really are stuck in the early GG years huh

Even his "conservative friends" are clearly put off by his culture war bullshit lol. They just want to be normal and watch normal movies.

In retrospect the line "conservatism is the new punk rock" was incredibly funny coming from the guys who got into conservative politics through children's toys.

I almost feel bad shitting on this person because you can tell they have a completely miserable life. But also link the post so I can go bully people in the comments.

Imagine getting "black-pilled" over the "anti-american agenda" of the scientist equivalent of another shoot-and-cry movie.
