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

Couldn't be worse this one. Can't believe it's real. Pelosi then made a speech about cooking dosa with Kamala Harris.

edit: I like that as of now there's almost as many comments on the post as there are upvotes, and yet there is no struggle session to be seen.

It's just that such a high number of people have had an absolutely guttural reaction of disgust that it needed to be put into words and shared.

I also think some people could simply not bring themselves to upvote such a psychically damaging image. Or they were turned to stone by it.

In the PRC, the most common profession in their highest governing body, the national people's congress, is engineer.

She did a heckin' girl boss dragon mommy clapback when she used her position at the political apex to do insider trading so she can amass even more wealth she won't be able to spend before dying.

So 'brat' is dead now, right? I think the rules stipulate once it's adopted by corporations or adopted by any major political party, it dies

I’m gonna take a flying guess and say Mindy’s upholding some class interests in stanning Pelosi. Gonna google it and report back.

So Drogon laying waste to King's Landing and burning a bunch of innocents is a metaphor for her letting millions die to COVID?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago

It could also be the more direct metaphor for her role in the murder of god knows how many people around the world at the hands of Amerikkka and it's allies

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (9 children)

Drogon

That was the dragon's name? Good gravy, Strong Bad named dragons better.

This reminds me that I went to the theaters a few months ago and they were playing a car commercial clearly referencing Game of Thrones and I kept thinking this is some fellow-kids shit because even though House of Dragons is still airing, the show has been out of the cultural zeitgeist for years now.

car commercial clearly referencing Game of Thrones

The previous Burgerland regime did "DAE LE EPIC WINTER IS COMING" promo releases, complete with the oh so edgy font style.

That'd be funny if it LE WINTER IS COMING was ended with a momentum-destroying asspull stab in the back of one guy, like it was in the Gambo show.

I swear, both liberals and reactionaries in the us are so corn-syrup brained it’s ridiculous. It just makes it all the more funny when CHUDs are out there pretending they care so dearly about western culture like this era is worth protecting, even for them.

Makes me want to start a new explicitly leftist artistic movement where we make our mark culturally. At least we got some good films like La Dolce Vita and Rome: Open City when leftists were engaging in the culture at large.

Every musician who had their music played at this convention should feel a sense of eternal embarrassment. Especially CharliXCX who is not even from the United States, yet decides to endorse a presidential candidate who is part of the current genocidal administration by christening her with the "Brat" album title ("Kamala Harris is brat", lmao how can a cop be against authority), and proceeds to have widely publicised cocaine fueled parties in LA as if she was a teenager, while being in her 30s! The irony in that is not lost on me. Kamala Harris built her career up on locking up people for committing the same drug offences Charli and her friends did in that publicised party, but I guess they just weren't rich or famous enough to get away with it. Hell if you're famous you can even use it to build up your reputation!

'mother of all dragons'

By that, does she mean that Pelosi is directly comparable to a cinematically objectified SV victim with a deeply questionable "and that is why she is crazy and killing people, improving society somewhat is impossible because it always goes this way, pinkie promise lol" character arc in that P R E S T I G E T V show, or does she mean a slight more blue curtained "WOW BASED MURDERFUCKER GIRLBOSS wow-cool-robot " version of that?

Either way pisses me off.
