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

Xi, my man, why didn't you blow up her plane when she flew to Taipei?

Gotta make sure the U.S. is too fucked up to utilize the doomsday option first

That's why I've been sneaking onto missile bases and putting Flex Seal over all the silos

Conservatives always imagine reality as being far more cool than it is

To them, Joe Biden is a Communist Maoist who wants to give everyone a gay marriage, drugs, who will force everyone to house at least 3 'illegal immigrants', and who is issuing permits to sport hunt conservatives

Reality has no basis in their beliefs

This is much worse than people like MTG making stupid statements about "Jewish space lasers". Pelosi later on says the FBI should be investigating the pro-Palestine protesters.

[edit] "A Pelosi spokesperson tells @rollingstone: “Speaker Pelosi is acutely aware of how foreign adversaries meddle in American politics to sow division and impact our elections, and she wants to see further investigation ahead of the 2024 election."

She’s a genius - anyone who has a shred of empathy is now either a Russian plant or an idiot controlled by Russia.

The high level democrats need to be purged.

Whoever shat in my pants while I wasn't looking is spreading "Putin's message" and is possibly on Russia's payroll

Anyone performatively kneeling is on the payroll of Big Cartilage

Nothing has changed since the 60s. All the Watergate babies like Pelosi think they are above it but, they are no better than the Democratic establishment of the 60s calling for the FBI to bug MLK and other activists. And always for the same spurious national security reasons.

I think I've developed a low-level immunity to some of this dumb lib-shit. My eyes immediately glazed over as a defense mechanism.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Ask the libs in your life to explain how this is any different from (Government of Designated Bad Country) saying that queer people are actually puppets of western removederacy
