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

No, you cannot be an honorary black, Dalia. Because this wise and sensible black person said so.

(Also, judging by that phrasing [especially using "black" as a noun], it really sounds like she wants to get away with saying a certain word.)

I can’t put my finger on it but it feels like they’re missing a word. Golly gosh, I just don’t know what it is. As a white person I’m not wise enough to know.

I knew a black guy who could shoot lightning from his eyes. He'd send me a picture of him doing it whenever I would run my mouth on the internet

"black people" aren't a hivemind to project your paternalistic liberal fantasies onto for soying out at

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 month ago

"an honourary black" ah yes, reinventing the nazi concept of "honourary aryans" but wokely

Lemme tell you from experience people like this 100% fetishize Black men

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 month ago (4 children)

What's the name for that trope, where a black character will be written into fiction for the sole purpose of helping the white protagonist (usually by acting as the author's mouthpiece)?

This woman seems to've melded her very being with it.

She was one of the people who made a movie like Green Book a box office hit in 2019

White liberals are so gross. Like I have no good analysis here, just ew what the fuck

Same, I tried to think of anything to say, and it's just... disgusting.

But hers is taking forever to process, even though she followed all the steps on the application!

Every single word in this screenshot is fucking ridiculous.

Image being black and thinking the dems care about your existence if you aren't making money for profit wars.

I'm tired of Democratic apologists defending all their failed policies with the dead hand of the talented tenth.

Alright, everyone with access to your parents' routers has an obligation to go in and block twitter.com/x.com along with Facebook, Fox News, whatever other insanity boomers are consuming

We may unironically need to create "anti boomer reactionary" blocklists. Similar to those lists that block porn sites on a network, but just a list of boomer brainrot sites.

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

Nice, boomers are terrible with technology and will just think it's the website's problem. Unfortunately blocking it on their phones will be harder if they leave the house enough to figure out that they can turn off the wifi to get their sites back.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

Definitely harder, but many cell companies now let you block domains online. Usually under like a child safety section. If you can't do that, ask them to let you use their phone for something and on iOS you can turn on the block porn domains and then add custom domains. If that doesn't work you can install something like adguard and just add the domains. Pretty sure Android has similar options and even more third party app options

If you really want to fuck with them you could semi randomize days and blocks of time when certain sites work. You could probably block whatever subdomain(s) twitter uses for video content so the website loads for them like 20% of the time and videos never load. Lots of potential for gaslighting diabolical shit here (but for good! I promise)

Everyone with access to INTERNET CORE ROUTERS has an obligation to DROP ALL TRAFFIC

dumpster-fire: Hi, I have a route to 0.0.0.0/32 - 255.255.255.255/32

We need to shut this thing down until we can figure what's going on

I'm not even saying that I'm doing it right. But my whole thing is "ya I'm super white" and I get in front of the jokes by being the first to point out my bullshit. I will never in this lifetime pass for a non white person.

The election hasn't even happened yet and they're already running the dolchstosslegende. Wild.

That's like n-tier pretzel convolution of the good old noble savage stereotype

"If you don't support me, you ain't black!" but correctly centered around the real protagonists: white women.

They do this shit every election cycle. I remember in 2020 when someone who works in DNC circles said that they were freaking out about losing the black vote to Kanye West.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Us damn cowardly backstabbers who refuse to condone genocide and WW3, the way libs are doing out of fear of orange man. Backstabbing is when you refuse to backstab the rest of humanity. Actually that part is true, from an imperial perspective: you can betray life and humanity, or you can betray liberalism.
