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 DNC killed #metoo to prop up the guy who victimized Anita Hill and Tara Reade

I really hope Biden eats shit and dies soon. That'd make my week.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He has all of the opportunities for comfort but is turning it down to be the president nobody wanted. He is eating shit every day and his best case scenario is dying in office.

Imagine your legacy coming down as one of the most justifiably hated person who could go down in history as destroying the status quo you have fought for. He is destroying his legacy and it's going down in history.

Doing this to defend someone with pretty serious rape allegations, too.

FFS people get that serious about defending Biden? He's a fucking elected official. He's supposed to be there by the will of the people.

If they cared about consent in any capacity, we wouldn't have had nothing but sex criminal politicians since the founding of the US. Jefferson, Clinton, Trump, Biden, it's literally a systemic problem.

Hamilton was made by a person of color, and the original cast said 'shame on you' to trump officials during one of the original shows. A hip hop musical made in the name of giving good pr to a fucking slaver who helped found a slaving colony.

How fucked is that?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wow cool a brown person singing a song to make a slaver look sympathetic. wow-cool-robot

It's beyond parody and jokerfying.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm guessing that marginalised people making media calling white men OK is a pretty successful grift industry.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hence in the other thread, I said I wish it was safer to date as a leftist. I'm Black and sometimes the best I can get for a long time is "enjoyed Hamilton"

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

Dammit, if people used Hamilton on me because of my race, I'd adventure-time

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I have a very crazy story about a liberal coworker who was obsessed with Hamilton. I have never seen the show and at this point I refuse to. I'd rather read X-Men comics about queer polycules on Mars.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I had a lib younger friend who was super into it. This was at the very beginning and I had no preconceived ideas about the show. We did a road trip once, and she played it on the car stereo. I heard a few of the songs and I was totally turned off by the style and by what it was saying.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

LMM's musical style is so corny it hurts. It's always really obvious when his work comes up in the newer Disney movies.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

Literally the only place I can say I tolerate his music is Encanto; and even then I still want him kicked down a stick pit

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

I had a white woman play Beyoncé's new album on a road trip a few months ago. You have my sympathy.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Genuinely why I want Lin Manuel dropped down a stick pit. There is no coming back from Sunken-Placery like fucking Hamilton.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lin Manuel Miranda, for your crimes against humanity, ten years in the Sunken Place Gulag.

I need to rewatch Get Out.

Supposed to being the key thing here.

As you know, Western "democracy" is nothing but a farce.

If one were to make this argument, (and no one should), I would say that Biden's persistent disregard for the consent of the governed is a much better fit than the shit they're shoveling

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 month ago (2 children)

At no point did a sane person look at covid, climate change, and trump and think "Joe Biden could fix this. "

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago

And here we are being told that he will be made leader and that you're recreating personal trauma for having a problem with that.

Biden is a president who has no concern for anyone's consent.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Joe was never chosen to beat Trump or solve anything. He was chosen to stop Bernie

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

ayup. Buttigieg was too much of a stretch and burned by the scandal in iowa so they gave it to Joe, simple as. To the real power brokers and ghouls even "roll over and do whatever the DNC wants" warren was too radical.

The Bionic Man series, but it's dnc ghouls using the technology at their disposal to drag Biden's carcass through every election for the last forty years.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago

Not to mention his disregard for the consent of children whose hair he sniffs

[A condemnation of|An indictment against] the so-called progressives that chased her there. Some crusaders against rape culture, to chase an assault survivor into the arms of their existential enemy. White liberals are really fucking good at that, historically speaking.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

Yup, then they can turn around and point to the thing they caused to happen as evidence of the others nefarious plans

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Don't immediately respect literally any no? You're a rapist!

Can I have some food I'm starving to death?

No!

Please??

Yup that's a rapist

My medicine please?

No I don't like that your trans

I'll die without

Fuckin rapists

Liberals are vile creatures

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm glad these people are going to lose. Invoking sexual assault to defend a rapist carrying out a genocide (where sexual assault is happening) is fucking something else. Real "everything is rape except actual rape, which is fine when we do it" vibes.

They deserve the all relentless mockery their myopic, wretched-taste condescension earns them. I want them to gain some fucking perspective.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago

American empire subjugates people, does genocide, conducts decades of pogroms with incalculable amount of devastation.

Average liberal genius defends empire : Ummmm if you don't support my chosen genocide overseer, then its akin to rape culture.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To libs, words have no actual meaning. The only use for them is to help them sound like they’re good/smart/winning an argument.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

It's aesthetics. That's why they hate trump. It's not that he does horrible things. It's because he doesn't know the difference to, two, and too.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I feel like there’s a fundamental difference between the exertion of pressure as part of the political process, and the exertion of pressure in a fundamental violation of one’s personal space and autonomy.

A reach on par with claiming a connection between “farms” and “farts” because they’re spelled mostly the same. Or perhaps because they’re both words within the same language

There’s a lot of similarities between the people telling me to stop taking shits on park benches and rape culture

From the political ideology that brought us "Jeremy Corbyn reminds me of my abusive ex boyfriend"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Biden is a rapist. He’s too senile to rape.

Biden is a genocider. If people get him drop out of the race, he can’t genocide anymore, either.

Just what can Biden do? The world is being very cruel to him.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Voters: isn't there someone you forgot to ask?

(I don't know a single person excited to vote Biden even among lifelong committed dems. Most wish for a less repugnant option from the dem roster)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Me: Please stop orchestrating a genocide.

Hitler: No means no, untermensch!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Holy shit I read this wrong and it took me forever to figure it out. I thought she was saying that Biden was ____ing us by staying in the race. Which, tbf, makes way more sense.

Asking Genocide Joseph to step down and let someone more cognitively sound is just like the Holocaust. I am smart, all the people I surround myself say so.
