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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

He does this shit for attention

[–] EnsignRedshirt@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's so sad regardless. Either he's really dumb or he's really dumb and also bad at jokes.

He is really dumb

Still trying to sell the brain damaged by antifa concrete claims.

That was Andy Ngo, a completely different reactionary twitter user.

Ian Miles Cheong lives in fucking Malaysia and has never even visited the US, yet he's absolutely obsessed with American culture warring on Twitter.

He's like that Nick (Alpha Male) guy, simps for America, is an Australian Greek man who kept using taxpayer money to go to America as a motivational speaker. He used to be the deputy mayor of Ashfield, Sydney.

omg I thought he was someone doing a bit

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, he was kicked out of right wing (Australian) politics for being too cringe. Since then he just moved to America to either grift American conservatives at best or fully drank the Kool Aid at worst.

Americans are always bragging online about how everyone wants to move there because muh American dream and blah blah blah, but really they’re almost always the people who don’t think their home country is reactionary enough.

One of my friends knew him at a local (in Malaysia) Sci fi book club and apparently he's just always been like this

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Really shows how long ago Ngo's 15 minutes of fame ran out when this isn't even the first time someone on Hexbear confused him with Cheong, lol.

[–] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Internet clout chasing like this always makes me feel bad for the person doing it. It's like I'm watching a medieval court jester.

[–] Sons_of_Ferrix@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Counterpoint: fuck them, don't feel bad

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

That's worse then not remembering the order of operations
