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

It seems like liberals blaming 'religion' is what happens when they are either forced to confront material reality or throw up their hands and pretend things are too complicated to understand.

It's a way to deal with cognitive dissonance. If they consult the material reality behind these conflicts they'd have to face up against the fact their countries are supporting a supremacist ethnostate that is committing genocide. They'd rather pretend that both sides are equally blinded by religion than see the imbalance.

Or they'd get called antisemitic by all their lib friends and are afraid of that

A religious war is when you respond to another country flattening your embassy.

I wish libs would learn materialism (though they would no longer be libs)

I hope this guy gets hit by a car and is injured bad enough that he starts inserting the real life event into his fantasy series, absolutely ruining the narrative by having the lives of his fictional characters revolving around a car accident involving real world author Steven King.

i hope he's only able to depict himself as a coked up narcissist who gets split into three

"anyway, can anyone else here not wait for our techno-salvation? what do you mean leap of faith?"

Sooner or later these capitalists burning oil, strewing plastic, and feeding the cows shit are going to get us all killed.

You pay for a blue check on Twitter after saying you wouldn't.

Although E ~ L ~ O ~ N may have given it to him for free during the desperate early times of Twitter Blue, idk.

twitter re-added pre-elon verification recently, restoring verified to a lot of accounts that lost it when it became a paid thing
