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

"Stop the genocide!"

"No! Four more years!"

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Four more years!

Just admit you don't hold any real ideals and just want 'your guy' to win liberals, conservatives did years ago

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

Blue MAGA is more accurate by the day.

Liberals all tried to dunk on conservatives for saying they don't care what Trump has do e they're voting for him anyway because they want him to be president.

Liberals all patted themselves on the back for that and then literally yesterday the top post in political humor was the exact same message except for biden but more condescending and acting like they had moral authority.

They literally said nothing you tell them will change their mind and they're ready to discount anything you say as a russ8an conspiracy theory.

Glad to see my bulkshit detector was right again when I saw a reddit post talking about how Biden is killing it because people started chanting four more years at his speech.

Article didn't mention it wasn't in support of Biden it was ro drown out people calling for an end to the genocide he was perpetuating.

[–] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 60 points 2 years ago

Using victims of a horrific, racially motivated, mass killing to silence criticism of Biden's support for prolonged horrific, racially motivated, mass killing should rightly...etc.

pearl-clutchrage-cry at the vigil for the mass death because people are yelling at me for not taking action to prevent further mass death

[–] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 46 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

did a mass shooter kill joe biden? his family? no? then shut the fuck up about this being tone-deaf you octogenarian-worshiping status quo warrior

[–] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

'racially insensitive' is Joe Biden somehow black-by-proxy because he was Obama's VP? Otherwise, how the fuck is Joe Biden connected to this shooting did-i-miss-a-page

[–] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Is it the fact that he's talking about it at the time? You can get booed for hypocrisy. That's a thing that can happened. If Dick Cheney shows up at an anti-war rally to make a supportive speech, he's going to be heckled. What are they even trying to get across here jesse-wtf

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago

"You are not allowed to criticise centrist Democrats. Ever. For anything. Especially Biden." This has always been their disingenuous point.

[–] asg101@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

What are they even trying to get

Black votes I am guessing.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

DO NOT ask white liberals this question.

[–] Harajukum@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

by being a segregationist

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago

did a mass shooter kill joe biden? his family?

sicko-wistful

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 54 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is the United States of Lyncherdom. Every day is an anniversary of white supremacist terror!

"Never protest!" -The Liberals

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago

Telling a bunch of anti-lynching activists that this is a disrespectful day to protest lynching, on account of a famous lynching that happened today.

Then cutting to a crying conservative who didn't get a Christmas themed coffee cup.

[–] Bobson_Dugnutt@hexbear.net 52 points 2 years ago

I dare anyone to find a date that isn't the anniversary of a white supremacists shooting

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 46 points 2 years ago

If you don't vote for me, you ain't black!

[–] micnd90@hexbear.net 39 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sweaty, using a house of worship that has suffered from horrific mass shooting by a white supremacist for a campaign speech should rightly be seen as tone deaf, racially insensitive, and downright offensive.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

More liberal infantalizing by failing to even consider maybe the people effected by the church shooting have some sympathy for the oppressed minority being gunned down in their homes.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The most feral sociopaths in the country. What the fuck is broken inside liberals.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's 2024, it's the ten year anniversary of Gamergate, the previous mass lib scratching event, and that was over bloody video games. And then there were enough scratched libs that liked Bush in 2004.

I swear, there's something about years that end in the number 4 that's cursed.

[–] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

reading through news highlights of 2014

Hmmm, Epidemic Becomes Global Health Crisis

Huh, Fighting in Ukraine and Crimea

uh, Deadly Israel-Hamas Conflict

When someone says "Hearts and Minds" you know they're either working for the bad guys, or a twit.

Fits in nicely with the legions of other lily-white crackers pretending to be oppressed because they can’t support genocide on college

[–] footfaults@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I wish a mother fucker would

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago

Best way to win hearts and minds is to do a genocide of course. When will you tankies learn

[–] raven@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Maybe we'll have a double leap day some year in the next millennium, and since no mass shooting events will have happened before on "that day" you can do a protest then.

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago (1 children)

if protesting can kill him it'd be the most effective protest in decades

[–] LeninsBeard@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Who would win: tens of thousands of protesters on the street or one the-doohickey

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago

Win hearts and minds to support what? big-honk

[–] jack@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

if your heart and/or mind are closed to sympathy for Gaza I resolutely declare that you are my enemy

[–] Juice@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

These people all have or want jobs, trying to tweet their way into positions of power. Their cynicism and depravity are their qualifications

god i really wish terrorism would make a comeback

Rote Armee Fraktion, where you at? ira

"I believe that this racist attack was bad, therefore it makes racist attacks on foreigners okay!"

What the hell kind of logic is this? Am I missing something?

[–] raven@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

Israel should have put a moratorium on genocide that day too. Pretty tone deaf tbqhsmdhmdh 🤔 😔

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

If you want to think about things that are tone-deaf, insensitive, and offensive, you should see how genocide looks. What's more, this kind of rhetoric completely shuts down hearts and minds whenever you wield people's race when you're being cynical. If anyone is ever going to stop fucking hating black people, it's not because you're ~~cajoling~~ demanding people to be hush hush while Brandon is campaigning.

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure 100% of tone policing is people disagree with the message but don't want to say that

We aren't winning hearts and minds, unlike them when they go from telling is we have to vote for Biden to "fuck you commie scum" in less than 2 comments.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

fuck you commie scum

I started following Lis Smith on twitter during the campaign to laugh at her and pete-eat

every now and then i see her posts, get infuriated, and forget to unfollow her. she's the biggest lib

[–] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

"you're not allowed to criticize us on any of the days a racist mass shooting was committed"

hmm....if we take that to its logical conclusion....

[–] WeedReference420@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Oh you want ceasefire? Best I got is 4 more years of genocide Jack!!

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

They always bring up marginalized groups they lock their car doors around when it's convenient.

Even twitter realized they're wrong lmfao.
