the_dunk_tank
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

I actually don't know that much about her. But what I do know repulses me.
This bit is highlighted...
There's a lot more I could quote but I'll just mention this...
That just sounds like a hit piece. Wringing your hands over the word "when" instead of "if" is such a goober line. How do you get "desirable" from that. Plus at this point abortion literally is illegal in multiple states.
A couple times and I tried and failed to read Bruenig's own articles on abortion among other things. What she believes personally is her business. But there's no need for her to spend 1,000s of words of obfuscation that she's anti-abortion. She can just say something like "Personally I do not believe in abortion. However..." It's not hard. But she'll never do that because it hurts her brand. She also routinely deletes all her tweets. She seems full of bullshit as far as I am concerned.
I'm now tempted to read her Trump Jesus article. But The Atlantic is garbage and her double speak gives me a migraine.
A thread I started a few minutes ago - "Ideally the lord" - a great example why the Bruenigs delete their tweets.
