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

Only somewhat related, but conservatives are whining a lot about seeing Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce everywhere and are claiming it's an op. You'd think they'd be happy about the world's most famous couple being white and heterosexual and one half of the couple playing for a team whose name and logo is a problematic Native American stereotype, but nope.

It's also incredibly funny seeing their posts saying "This is NOT organic!" Like yeah no shit dude, the most famous pop star at the height of her fame has an army of PR people promoting her.

The right are masters at moving the goal posts, it's not enough to have the two most famous people on earth being white and rich but they have to explicitly support MAGA/fascism/racial holy war/whatever shit chuds are on now too.

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

Not to disagree with the general sentiment, but the “on earth” made me giggle as this post is the first time I’ve heard her boyfriend’s name

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

I still don't remember the boyfriend's name

Football is part of the right-wing cultural sphere and Taylor Swift isn't. Right-wing football fans are being forced to acknowledge that Taylor Swift exists, and that causes them dissonance because they're supposed to live in a bubble. Their natural response is that this must be a conspiracy of some sort. If it's not some sort of liberal plot to (insert irrational fear here), then it means that they and the things they like live in the same bubble as other people and the things those people like.

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

Taylor Swift has already rigged the Super Bowl to ensure a Chiefs win, after which the Chiefs logo will be pulled away to reveal the visage of Ahmed Yassin. The Fida'i will then start playing over the loudspeakers as our brave Hamas fighters paraglide into the stadium to massacre all white people a la the Haitian Revolution in 1804.

[–] oregoncom@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Just call them sjws for hating on a white heterosexual couple and watch themselves twist themselves into a knot. Then just reply with "sure thing bro".

The children are Hamas, the ambulances are Hamas, the hospitals are Hamas, South Africa is Hamas, Ireland is Hamas, the UN is Hamas, Taylor Swift is Hamas....

[–] Comp4@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

WAIT?!? AM I HAMAS ?

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

We are all Hamas on this blessed day

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

Being John Malcovitch, except instead of John Malcovitch it's Hamas.

So many chuds are going to have heart attacks or strokes when the pan to Taylor at the Super Bowl and she’s waving a gigantic Hamas flag and the paratroopers come down in half time and seize Vegas

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago (6 children)

This is truly the dumbest fucking timeline. Being a chud must be very satisfying, because you can just let the brainworms take over completely without having to put in any effort to fight them.

[–] Des@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago

just imagine the sweet relief they get from just giving in and becoming passengers in their own minds

like just letting that alien parasite push your consciousness back behind a mental prison and going through reality totally disassociated, watching through eyes no longer yours

ok now this seems horrible

In a way its kinda good the female pop star chuds are frothing over currently is 2 years older than I am and not a teenager.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

Yea at least we aren't seeing any "if she's allowed to give her opinion I'm allowed to want to bang a 14 year old" takes this time around

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

and I can still remember when Taylor Swift was supposed to be the far right's white tradwife savior...how times change...

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Tay Tay and her BF big football man love terrorism.

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

"Shake It Off" is a song about freeing oneself from the shackles of an oppressive, genocidal ethnostate taylor-commie

[–] 0x0520@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

Probably more familiar in the original Arabic.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Seriously now not only can you not criticize her without liberals jumping to her defense reflexively and assuming you're a chud I also can't root against the chiefs without a bunch of dipshits thinking its for political reasons and not just because theybe been in like 4 of the last 5 superbowls.

[–] rootsbreadandmakka@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

root for KC, you're rooting for Taylor Swift and Mr. Pfizer

root for SF, you're rooting for homosexuality and increased crime rates

what's a based tradpilled zoomer to do

She has no thoughts on it, so swifties know not to talk about it. Life continues in blissful blob-no-thoughts

[–] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago

The brave IDF already sent a squad of soldiers to try to contain her. It was a massacre. They lost 12 Major Generals, aged 15-22. No sperm could be retrieved as it all boiled inside their bodies.

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago

Hey, if chuds want to turn the most popular pop star in America into a pro-palestine symbol who am I to quibble emilie-shrug

[–] Comp4@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Critical support to Taylor Swift in her war against Israel

[–] Raebxeh@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago

All the Swifties out here like, “How many dead Palestinian children anre acceptable to you? What’s the number?”

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

"Blank Space" is a song about having a Hamas tunnel with a vacancy

TIL Kansas City is actually in Missouri. This country makes no sense.

[–] DoiDoi@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It shares a border with Kansas City, Kansas and kinda functions like a single city but yeah the MO side is where the actual city is.

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

If Taylor Swift were Hamas, she could just issue her fans one order and Israel would be destroyed.

Taylor Swift is HUMMUS

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Could you imagine needing a pop star billionaire's opinion on hamas? Like, it would be neat if TS called for a ceasefire as it would be using her platform to espouse justice, but if I'm a moderate centrist holden-bloodfeast supporter why the fuck do I need her to do anything?

How do these dipshits balance their rabid antisemitism with their unyielding hunger for Israel's cock?

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

They think some fuckery has to happen in or around Isreal to trigger the rapture and have Jesus come back and take them to white Christian heaven.

Basically religious accelerationists.
