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

They're laughing at thier own suckers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doge_of_Venice

The word Doge derives from the Latin Dux, meaning "leader," originally referring to any military leader, becoming in the Late Roman Empire the title for a leader of an expeditionary force formed by detachments (vexillationes) from the frontier army (limitanei), separate from, but subject to, the governor of a province, authorized to conduct operations beyond provincial boundaries.

The Doge of Venice acted as both the head of state and head of the Venetian oligarchy. Doges were elected for life through a complex voting process.

Kind of amazing Kamala is losing ground daily to these guys.

Running on a platform consisting solely of "I'm not those guys" is lame even when those are the guys.

Honestly, the roles could even just as well be reversed. I hate all the people involved but the libs playing their games rather than being honest about their genocidality really takes the cake (hell, outside of domestic social policy- which granted does count for a hell of a lot if they weren't committing industrial genocide and pushing for WW3- they may as well be considered worse)

The fact that they can keep getting away with the flimsiest of facades and there's a collective societal consensus that we must not call them out on their bullshit has been driving me bonkers this election season.

Elon is dragging him down and making him unfunny. Are we sure we are not witnessing the first election where both candidates are actively trying to lose?

Narcissists never want to lose, even if it means getting a break from something they don't want to do. Trump is just too tired to keep up the old shitposting rizz and my-hero is a rizz black hole.

I like that the AI generated picture got Trump's fake tan lines accurate trump-drenched

We are witnessing the mental breakdown of a former powerposter, to levels of sad never before seen.

He should have his posting button forcibly removed.

The formerly wet boy is getting so, so dry.

Amusingly, these are two of the only people in the world who would recoil and want to leave when being near a Shiba Inu

Tbf the man's brain is practically soup at this point.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

His brain soup is in a big pot being stirred by my-hero and a literal vampire's blood boy.

Thiel's Thrall and Mr. Chūnibyō himself sitting on our big wet boy's shoulders like shitty shoulder devils.

Really cool and good how the richest man on earth unironically likes Brainrot.

Give it 5 years and Elon Musk will try to unironically make a Skibidi toilet to wipe out minorities to, and I quote, “troll them epic style!”

Pretty sure being that rich basically necessitates it- but also was Elon ever not a lolcow?

Like Elton John said in one of his songs, it's a sad, sad situation, and it's getting more and more absurd. sad-boi

Is this on X? I remember when DJT got unbanned and didn't immediately post there, I guess that was when he still had enough money to afford a shred of dignity.

A real and functional democracy exists when some chauvinist grifter runs to the president with a sticky note containing his ideas to gut the very system they claim to defend, and everybody claps.

Maybe its actually funny chuds think they can vote their way out of a dessicating swamp
