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

Many such cases. Fascism is given fuel when liberalism appears weak and impotent.

The tragic flaw of liberals, and their relation to their ecosystem, is that they have no defense against slightly different liberals (conservatives), meaning their population and position in the food chain is always unstable.

No matter how many times I tell the managers at grocery stores that the economy is doing great, they still keep raising prices.

"WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THINGS FROM MY PERSPECTIVE?!?!"

idk, maybe try looking through theirs and see if there's a reason they can't see yours??

Actually, I'm also a Liberal Expert and that Liberal is clearly having an orgasm.

WELL--WELL LOOK. I ALREADY TOLD YOU: I DEAL WITH THE GOD DAMN CUSTOMERS SO THE ENGINEERS DON'T HAVE TO. I HAVE PEOPLE SKILLS; I AM GOOD AT DEALING WITH PEOPLE. CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

Winning people over to Joe Biden by screaming "WE'RE BETTER OFF NOW THAN WE WERE 4 YEARS AGO" at them until they agree

I'd hardly call thumb-twiddling for four years straight "great and successful". In some cases, worse.

Not only did Biden completely enable fascists to pull sneaky moves left and right to pretty much operate as if they're in Trump's second term, but no doubt the very fact that Biden wears a blue tie is still too scary for most oil and gas companies, so I wouldn't be surprised if half of their increased gas prices are some form of capital strike to get people to vote republican.

Biden is as powerful as watered-down Miller lite, and to most of the country he's still seen as a dangerous, far-left radical just because "gay people and women bad" isn't his number one priority.

JOE BIDEN KISSES MY KIDS TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT AND THEY CAN'T SLEEP WITHOUT HIM. WHY CAN'T EVERYONE SEE THIS??
