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

During the George Floyd protests, one libertarian dressed in a pig costume went to a small suburban neighborhood having a Blue Lives Matter parade

He just stood around and everyone started foaming at the mouth. One older man got very agitated and started saying stuff like “I HOPE YOUR MOM AND SISTER GET RAPED AND THERES NO COPS AROUND TO SAVE THEM YOU BITCH” and his wife or neighbor had to constrain him so he doesn’t assault the libertarian lol

Goddamn, one of the 3 good libertarians I've heard of in my life.

There are libertarians (sovcits) that like to troll pigs, they're funny but they're not good though.

I don't know this guy's backstory but he seems to troll rightwingers exclusively so I'm not convinced that he's a libertarian but I suspect he's more like Walter Masterson:

Could be a different guy to who you are thinking of though or there could be something else about him I'm not aware of.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

What the fuck does illustrative purposes mean here?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago

They are trying to show their emotions to a crowd that they assume isn't empathizing with them. In other words "if you felt what I feel, you would want to deny Palestinian rights too!"

It's a threat.

We need an IRA/Hamas collab on sending more colonizers to space.

I think they really didn't want to delete the post and to save face they did their version of a walkback. It doesn't have to make sense to us or the public in general. The walkback only has to make sense to them.

"It was a joke bro!"

Terrible pr attempt?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 months ago

Except it would never happen because Ireland isn't colonizing Palestine lenin facepalm

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago

What. The. Fuck.

Be good little indigenous people and lie down for the coloniser and they might treat you with a state of your own(lol lmao) if you're on your best behaviour.

It would be glorious if this was what finally caused the Irish Reunification of 2024.

Sounds like a great way to get Irish people on your side.
