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

alfred, stop bombing palestinians!

He can't; he's Brit*sh.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 4 months ago

It's an apt description though. Alfred enables Batman to go around beating poor people nearly to death. Biden enables all sorts of organizations to do the same.

soypoint-1 omg sooberhero reference

The only choices here are allowing an old man with dementia access to batman's armaments, or the joker, no other alternatives so rest easy when alfred accidentally lands the bat jet on a school bus because there's nothing you could have done sweaty

If Alfred is stroking out over the Batcomputer and sending the Batwing to bomb the children of Crime Alley, then yes, you do replace him

It's why Robin exists in the first place!

You can't spell Joeker without Joe

I asked how many children Alfred had facilitated the murder of and why the Joker was even allowed to run with his 34 felony convictions and got some wishy-washy lib bullshit about how it's a lot of people's fault so it's nobody's fault vote alfred soypoint-2

Well I think Alfred was a British commando in the war years so he probably has killed some children.

🤓 just like my mooovies. Cheeto is jus like the you know who, biden is dumbeldore. Hillary is the chosen one.

I never hear libs ask the serious questions, like who would be Mr. Filch in this analogy.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

That would be john podesta

Who's Batman in this scenario?

The bombs killing Palestinian kids?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If so, then the Joker seems like a great option

If Trump were serious about being isolationist and would pull out of these wars, then the analogy would match.

He's definitely not gonna do that though.

Here's a more apt media comparison.

The GOP is M Bison and the closest thing we have to any opposition to Shadaloo is the dems: the political equivalent of Dan Hibiki. Our so-called "saviors" are IRL comic relief characters at best.

Also this is actual ableism, not "biden should drop out because his brain is melting," comparing THAT to Alfred because Alfred is old is ageism lol get fucked libs

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

libs would be enamored with the subservient relationship between a british butler and a rich corporate heir

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Are any Dems accepting that we're all fucked either way and figuring out that they need militant street organization to have a chance in hell of surviving this?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

This is actually really smart and good political analysis because obviously the real world is exactly like Batman

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Alfred was always depicted as competent, never as senile. Even if they did an "Alfred gets Alzheimer's" story arc, Batman also has Barbara Gordon, Dick Grayson, and whichever Robin he has lying around to watch the cave.
