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

"Stop the genocide!"

"No! Four more years!"

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Four more years!

Just admit you don't hold any real ideals and just want 'your guy' to win liberals, conservatives did years ago

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

Blue MAGA is more accurate by the day.

Liberals all tried to dunk on conservatives for saying they don't care what Trump has do e they're voting for him anyway because they want him to be president.

Liberals all patted themselves on the back for that and then literally yesterday the top post in political humor was the exact same message except for biden but more condescending and acting like they had moral authority.

They literally said nothing you tell them will change their mind and they're ready to discount anything you say as a russ8an conspiracy theory.

Using victims of a horrific, racially motivated, mass killing to silence criticism of Biden's support for prolonged horrific, racially motivated, mass killing should rightly...etc.

pearl-clutchrage-cry at the vigil for the mass death because people are yelling at me for not taking action to prevent further mass death

did a mass shooter kill joe biden? his family? no? then shut the fuck up about this being tone-deaf you octogenarian-worshiping status quo warrior

[–] [email protected] 48 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

'racially insensitive' is Joe Biden somehow black-by-proxy because he was Obama's VP? Otherwise, how the fuck is Joe Biden connected to this shooting did-i-miss-a-page

[–] [email protected] 33 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Is it the fact that he's talking about it at the time? You can get booed for hypocrisy. That's a thing that can happened. If Dick Cheney shows up at an anti-war rally to make a supportive speech, he's going to be heckled. What are they even trying to get across here jesse-wtf

[–] [email protected] 37 points 10 months ago

"You are not allowed to criticise centrist Democrats. Ever. For anything. Especially Biden." This has always been their disingenuous point.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago

What are they even trying to get

Black votes I am guessing.

This is the United States of Lyncherdom. Every day is an anniversary of white supremacist terror!

"Never protest!" -The Liberals

[–] [email protected] 43 points 10 months ago

Telling a bunch of anti-lynching activists that this is a disrespectful day to protest lynching, on account of a famous lynching that happened today.

Then cutting to a crying conservative who didn't get a Christmas themed coffee cup.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 10 months ago

I dare anyone to find a date that isn't the anniversary of a white supremacists shooting

[–] [email protected] 53 points 10 months ago

If you don't vote for me, you ain't black!

[–] [email protected] 45 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sweaty, using a house of worship that has suffered from horrific mass shooting by a white supremacist for a campaign speech should rightly be seen as tone deaf, racially insensitive, and downright offensive.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

More liberal infantalizing by failing to even consider maybe the people effected by the church shooting have some sympathy for the oppressed minority being gunned down in their homes.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 10 months ago (3 children)

You know, I hear this sort of thing every single time people in the US protest. The liberals are quick to remind them that "this won't win hearts and minds" every time. Any sort of protest, be it peaceful or disruptive, is declared invalid for rallying support. Oddly, they never suggest an appropriate way to protest that would win hearts and minds.

Why, if I didn't know better, I'd think these people just flat out don't want anyone protesting at all because it makes them look bad!

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's always fun to find political cartoons from the 60s and point out to them that if they were alive then they would be making the exact same arguments that the people who opposed MLK Jr were using.

The most feral sociopaths in the country. What the fuck is broken inside liberals.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's 2024, it's the ten year anniversary of Gamergate, the previous mass lib scratching event, and that was over bloody video games. And then there were enough scratched libs that liked Bush in 2004.

I swear, there's something about years that end in the number 4 that's cursed.

Hmmm, Epidemic Becomes Global Health Crisis

Huh, Fighting in Ukraine and Crimea

Best way to win hearts and minds is to do a genocide of course. When will you tankies learn

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

B... but... 100 million...

I wish a mother fucker would

[–] [email protected] 39 points 10 months ago

Fits in nicely with the legions of other lily-white crackers pretending to be oppressed because they can’t support genocide on college

[–] [email protected] 38 points 10 months ago (2 children)

When someone says "Hearts and Minds" you know they're either working for the bad guys, or a twit.

Win hearts and minds to support what? big-honk

[–] [email protected] 35 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Maybe we'll have a double leap day some year in the next millennium, and since no mass shooting events will have happened before on "that day" you can do a protest then.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 10 months ago (1 children)

if protesting can kill him it'd be the most effective protest in decades

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

Who would win: tens of thousands of protesters on the street or one the-doohickey

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago

Israel should have put a moratorium on genocide that day too. Pretty tone deaf tbqhsmdhmdh 🤔 😔

[–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

"I believe that this racist attack was bad, therefore it makes racist attacks on foreigners okay!"

What the hell kind of logic is this? Am I missing something?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

god i really wish terrorism would make a comeback

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago

Rote Armee Fraktion, where you at? ira

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

If you want to think about things that are tone-deaf, insensitive, and offensive, you should see how genocide looks. What's more, this kind of rhetoric completely shuts down hearts and minds whenever you wield people's race when you're being cynical. If anyone is ever going to stop fucking hating black people, it's not because you're ~~cajoling~~ demanding people to be hush hush while Brandon is campaigning.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure 100% of tone policing is people disagree with the message but don't want to say that

We aren't winning hearts and minds, unlike them when they go from telling is we have to vote for Biden to "fuck you commie scum" in less than 2 comments.

"you're not allowed to criticize us on any of the days a racist mass shooting was committed"

hmm....if we take that to its logical conclusion....

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

Least fragile liberal

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

They responded to "ceasefire now" with "four more years"...

I wonder if they realize how much it sounds like they want four more years of genocide. I wonder how many of them actually support the genocide.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

I started following Lis Smith on twitter during the campaign to laugh at her and pete-eat

every now and then i see her posts, get infuriated, and forget to unfollow her. she's the biggest lib

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

They always bring up marginalized groups they lock their car doors around when it's convenient.
