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

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago

They made a serious effort to spread and it didn't pan out as well as they thought

we need to protect democracy

ukranian flag emoji in handle

How's Zelensky's term as president coming along again?

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Listen that's different

The evil Russians invaded for reasons beyond our comprehension, so he had no choice but to suspend elections and not work on a treaty while turning the country into a private equity owned garbage heap

Holding elections would put democracy at risk

[–] JayTwo@hexbear.net 37 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I have a shitposting masto and a news masto. Two different servers. News masto has a lot of "criticizing Biden is Ageism" shit while the shitposters are basically all irony poisoned commies and anarchists making "we beat Medicare" and sundowner jokes.

democracy is when you can choose between the guy who always lies and the guy who can't string a sentence together

[–] trompete@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The framing "Biden senile, Trump lying" gets me. It should be "Biden senile (and racist), Trump wants to lead anti-immigrant lynch mob, both lying."

Biden said so many lies and half-truths that just pointing at Trump is dishonest af. And not putting front and center how Trump basically blamed every single thing on immigrants is just irresponsible. But the fucking libs have decided that the way to beat Trump is that they too need to be extra fucking racist, so they do not want to point that out.

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago

Yes, there's a lot more to it, like how Biden is also currently perpetrating a genocide which Trump would absolutely continue to do

[–] roux@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago

People really be saying if you don't vote for their preferred fascist that the US is going to become fascist, huh? The US has never been an actual democracy and it's basically always been fascist.

[–] Barx@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago

Democracy is when you must always vote for Good Party regardless of how bad they actually are, lest the only other viable party, Bad Party, win instead.

Thank you for your participation, citizen. Please don't ask any questions.

becomes a fascist Reich

Always has been

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago

Fascists almost ready to take power and rule violently: sicko-crowd

biden-point Sorry pal. You don’t have enough votes.

sicko-no

[–] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago

Mastadon is the actual worst. My first and only interaction with that platform was someone saying "Nazi RuZZians had no involvement in liberating Auschwitz". The ukronazi bootlickers there are the worst.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’m too distracted by a grown-ass adult in their 30’s taking that NAFO shit seriously and expecting their political takes to be respected.

[–] Teekeeus@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

taking that NAFO shit seriously and expecting their political takes to be respected

A NAFO (baltoid political leader) is about to become the EU's foreign policy chief lmayo

She's exactly the flavor of turd that europeans deserve

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

I saw that. They’re going to get a lot more bloodthirsty.

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 2 months ago

Wow, NAFO is so fucking astroturfed, they really don't even try to hide it, do they?

[–] Guamer@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

November Man

Take me by the hand

Lead me to the land

That you understand

[–] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

I've noticed that Youtube comments are similar as well, like copies of one another, typically negative stuff about Biden

Silence, nafoid

[–] itappearsthat@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

I have been boost-muting or straight up unfollowing anybody who dumps un-CW'd US politics bullshit straight into my feed on the first offense. Works great!
