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

october 7th didn't fall from the coconut tree you motherfucker, it existed in the context of decades of brutal suppression and killing

[–] [email protected] 37 points 6 days ago (2 children)

No history began on that exact date. Just like the history in ukraine only happened the moment russian troops entered.

Why if somehow looked too far back they might come to the conclusion that actually the west are the bad guys.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 days ago

You're allowed to look back just over one year or two thousand years. Nothing in between. And only for this issue. Selective memory.

"Hey you know that mass killing I'm doing that you're upset about? Well let me remind you of a mass killing at least 33 times smaller that I'm using to justify it!"

Masterful political instincts

And even though it's twenty standard deviations from the Overton window: let's be reminded that the IOF killed half of them in their hysterical fury at being retaliated against

[–] [email protected] 33 points 6 days ago (1 children)

with ~1000 vehicles totally burned out hellfire-missile style trying to return to gaza and the IOF firing tank shells into houses with hostages I think it was more than half

It would be nice for someone to lift a finger to find out, but obviously that will never happen

Is about the best we'll get until the entity collapses and someone can look close

[–] [email protected] 26 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

iirc the entity at first made a "car cemetery" out of them until the questions about how Hamas did all that damage with RPGs and AK-47s became inconvenient so they cut up the cars and buried them in the desert

The Dems are masterful failures.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Can’t wait in 2028 where democrats insist on literally bowing in worship to both republicans and white men so as “not to alienate ordinary Americans.”

[–] [email protected] 51 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (3 children)

the year is 2028

DJT still somehow alive and President

military is reeling from disastrous attempt to attack Iran

economy in toilet even though stocks are up (free space)

every non-white latino deported regardless of citizenship

Texas tries to secede but is prevented by QAnon-aligned military officers

Democrats decide that the best way forward is to promote national unity

Democrats decide not to have a primary, and to endorse JD Vance for president

"if you don't vote for JD Vance you're voting for fascism!"

Vance loses Republican primary to Actual Hitler, a clone of Adolph Hitler created by a tech startup

Techbros are so fucking fascist already and getting bolder that I truly wouldn't be entirely surprised if this actually happened.

How do we know Musk doesn't have some Musk/Hitler hybrid in a vat somewhere, it's not like we have UN Hitler Inspectors

They gotta do it, it's the only way to pass progressive policy! pete

It's just like, they yell at us constantly and then they anoint someone who gets up in front of the world and says shit like this. There's nothing we could possibly do to them that's worse than what they do to themselves.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Genuinely Jaw dropping. I just went and watched the video because I couldn't believe it, but its just as bad as its implied. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TC2-fJw4SBg, about 4 mins in if you want to hear it for yourself.

I was already prepared to vote green but I'm stunned how little they're even trying to make me have cold feet about it. I don't fucking understand it...why don't they just fucking lie like they do about everything else?!??

"Not only fuck Palestinians, but also aren't you all so excited for my collab with notable Republican war criminal Liz Cheney?"

also aren't you all so excited for my collab with notable Republican war criminal Liz Cheney?

we even got her even eviler father on our side. Isn't that so cool???

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 days ago
[–] [email protected] 32 points 6 days ago (1 children)

they can't lie, because the zionists demand complete obedience. All public statements have to be completely supporting them or they freak the fuck out.

Look at how Israel acts when a non-binding resolution passes in the UN that condemns them but doesn't actually do anything about it. They act like it's another holocaust

Literally "history began on October 7th, 2024." Also wouldn't be surprised if she threw a contradictory "It's a thousand year conflict, it's very nuanced."

I can't believe the person who got obliterated in an actual primary race because she is a smug moron is continuing to be a smug moron

this is the most important election of our lives

no why would we the ones running try to win, just vote for us or get the orange one who will do the same just louder

[–] [email protected] 37 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Not as important as continuing genocide, mind you. Good priorities, will vote again

but we will totally legalize weed this time for black Pell Grant recipients

I knew she was terrible at campaigning already but I'm utterly baffled by that response.

Not that she believes it; that she said it. Forced error. susie-baffled
