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

Dave Anthony responding to a "can Dore be saved" question on bsky:

He’s gone. I’ve known Jimmy for 20 years. He never had an ideology as a building block. The combination of him being successfully targeted by that group of ivermectin doctors and then the left going hard at him, as a contrarian, took him hard right and he’s done. A Mussolini trajectory.

glad to see he's moved on past "you don't understand, jimmy really cares about healthcare, that's why he's doing this dumb showboating for a useless political gesture"

ofc the washed up boomer comedian and the CIA asset agree that "the elites" are the Jews and their trans agenda

Is Dore transphobic? I know he has some weird Anti-vax takes but didn't think it extended further. Been a while since I paid attention to him.

If the heir to the Swanson frozen dinner empire wants to fight elites, he can start by punching himself in the face.

I'm pretty sure all he really wants is to be famous but associates fame with DC popularity instead of Hollywood popularity.

The problem is not establishment, but establishing, the dialectical process with economy system. You can remove every politician, preserve private ownership and in 50 years you won't see a difference.

turning a big dial taht says 'Smugface' on it and constantly looking back at the youtube algorithm for approval like a contestant on the price is right

Dore took horseshoe theory as a personal challenge

Are they complaining about all the ugly evil buildings like dollarstores in America causing the collapse and saying we need to build big beautiful buildings like they got in Europe to save ourselves?

I hate this shit because Tucker and co. are the "establishment" and routinely use their rhetoric to bolster their power. Fucking scumbags.

The worst part is people fall for it.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

The way Tucker Carlson speaks makes me want to gnaw his face off. I have more respect for actual unironic Jeffrey Epstein than him. Anyone willing to be in the same room with him at any point in time for any reason besides acts of physical violence is beneath consideration

Reminds me of Ice Cube being interviewed by Carlson and they begin with "we don't agree with each other at all" then spend an hour agreeing with each other on every topic and Ice Cube not challenging Carlson in the slightest
