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

Historical events are designed, by the woke left, to make Americans feel bad about their country.

You know they've lost the culture war when stuff like this starts popping up

conservatives (who are actually liberals)

Wow, they finally realized it.

It's a classic No True Scotsman fallacy at work.

No, it's a conservative wiping the scales from their eyes (albeit momentarily) and realizing liberals and conservatives are just two sides of the capitalism party, which is liberalism.

[–] RedDawn@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think they realized that at all, even momentarily. They're just calling themself the one true conservative for not seeing the Barbie movie lol.

I almost feel bad shitting on this person because you can tell they have a completely miserable life. But also link the post so I can go bully people in the comments.

it's KiA... it's like pissing into a river

[–] jack@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

More like pouring water into a river of piss

Sounds like a perfectly healthy way to live

Even his "conservative friends" are clearly put off by his culture war bullshit lol. They just want to be normal and watch normal movies.

It feels like that sub is somehow degrading. Like it was always evil and always stupid but there's still somehow a sense to me that it's devolved.

Gamergate was a lot of people's first experience with the far-right infiltrating a vulnerable group then engineering and escalating a culture war.

There was a lot of naivety back then. The alt-right pinkie promising they weren't neo-nazis was enough for thousands to give them the benefit of the doubt. People got swept up in it, believing it really was about "ethics in game journalism" and not just trying to bully feminists and anyone who defended them into suicide.

But that was hundreds of acts of domestic terrorism and melodramatic reactionary outcries ago. Most people shook off the mob mentality and saw it for what it was.

You're seeing the ones who decided to stick with being scumbags.

For most of them, it's probably because they're abusers without anyone in their life to abuse, trying to scratch that itch by hurling slurs at minorities.

Of what's left, they might be so dimwitted and gullible that they still haven't realised they've just been doing the dirty laundry of some of the worst people the modern world can offer.

It would be genuinely pitiful if it wasn't near-certain that one of them will do a mass shooting because someone made a movie that was more appealing to women than the idea of becoming a tradwife-pornstar-mommy-punching bag for a chud.
