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

Incredible how they're hollowing out what little remains of the Democratic Party base. Like banning TikTok ffs. In 10 years they'll all be talking about how they were against Israel from the start.

[–] Lovely_sombrero@hexbear.net 52 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Libs think that the Dems are the good party by definition and that it is everyone's job to vote for them. They will do whatever they want, then demand your vote. And it still works surprisingly often, probably greatly helped by the Republicans being such obvious crazies, whereas the libs are sometimes able to mask their crazy by politely talking about "believe in science", "social justice", "rules-based order" and stuff like that.

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This shtick only works so long as enough libs are comfortable in life to tune out if day-to-day politics. Unfortunately for Dems their yuppie, middle income base is starting to feel the effects of imperialism at home. These types of crackdowns and bans aren't supposed to happen here. And people outside of that income/class bubble are dealing with so much BS right now that I can see this election having abysmal turnout.

We should be recruiting actively for whatever orgs we're in. People need to know alternatives exist before the fascists get to them.

[–] Lovely_sombrero@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

I mean, these types of crackdowns and bans have been happening forever and they only made liberal institutions stronger as a response.

We should be recruiting actively for whatever orgs we're in. People need to know alternatives exist before the fascists get to them.

I'm not optimistic, because the left always gets attacked by the liberal/conservative institutions and the fascists (who are just an outgrowth of liberal/conservative ideologies to begin with) have a big advantage. Right now, a bill is advancing through Congress that would allow the US to ban any non-profits whenever they felt like it - https://twitter.com/LaraFriedmanDC/status/1783130245421281340

10 years after Trump´dies they'll be ready to rehabilitate him, they'll talk about how he was funny but because he was stupid he wasn't nearly as bad as [insert current GOP fascist here] and obviously [insert current election here] is the most important ever etc.

Yeah people should keep in mind, this is how liberals feel about you. They will humor you as long as they think they can get something from you, but this is the response to a challenge from their left that they always have in the back of their minds.

[–] MineDayOff@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

Damn. Well put.

As soon as I read this it immediately washed over me all the interactions I've had with Libs (and friends) how they just resort to you being some sort of authoritarian psycho.

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

Don't even have to scratch them anymore

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 82 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Guy who seemingly embraces "genocidal scumbag guardian" label shockingly doesn't care what happens to protestorsshocked-pikachu

Bet he also likes to tell people that if Trump wins he'll send the Gestapo to murder all his opponents and critics like libs love to fantasize when vote shaming people.

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 48 points 1 year ago

they’re just like Trump voters, so I will act just like Trump and ask the cops to bust them up plz!

[–] Indifference_Engine@hexbear.net 78 points 1 year ago (1 children)

One of the guys who spent the 2000s wearing fake buck teeth and making used panty vending machine jokes every time a Japanese RPG was released has bad opinions? Who could have seen this coming

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

Gamers have a normal opinion about Japan challenge: level impossible

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 78 points 1 year ago

Nobody is anti-authoritarian when the authorities are hurting the people they want hurt.

[–] frippa@lemmy.ml 62 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Anti-imperialist pro-Palestine protestors are Trump voters, hexbear users are Trump supporters, Russia and China support Trump. The line between conspiracy theorist libs and MAGAcommunists is a thin one.

[–] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Please run this back for me one more time because I’m not sure I get it

This is your reminder that liberals, even ones that claim to be "progressive," hate leftists at least as much as reactionaries, if not more.

I feel like the cognitive dissonance is genuinely breaking a lot of NATO libs minds right now, especially the student protests

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 52 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That name sounds so familiar and yet nothing else about this person seems familiar.

[–] UrsineApathy@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He was a host on a bunch of video game themed talk shows on the G4TV channel back in the late 2000's if that rings any bells.

Adam Sessler is a strong candidate for the most scratched liberal of all time

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 45 points 1 year ago

Adam "Definitely still relevant in 2024" Sessler

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 41 points 1 year ago

Dude made a single policy his whole personality, look at his user name.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago
[–] Parsani@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago

Definitely a normal thing to post

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 32 points 1 year ago

Gosh I wonder why they hate you Adam? What a mystery!

On February 12, 2021, G4 announced that Sessler would return to host Xplay on the relaunched television network,[31] though the network ceased operations on October 16, 2022.[32]

Dude never recovered from this failed comeback.

[–] MineDayOff@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] TheKanzler@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Adam Settler

[–] ThisMachinePostsHog@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

G4 was my favorite thing to watch in the early 2000s when I was like 14. I haven't thought about this guy since then, but holy shit he sucks lmao.
