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

there's been a growing culture of calling for violence on my left, just look at this screenshot I took of a right wing elected member of the government calling for violence

[–] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 45 points 3 months ago

B...but but I said words like democratic and some other virulent trash that means its a very cogent insight. 😌

Fuck Brianna Wu, she genuinely does not believe that Israel is a settler-colonial state and there are receipts of her rolling her eyes during a panel discussion where that fact was brought up.

That woman is a whole cracker, fuck her and all her homies.

[–] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 52 points 3 months ago

She's a zionist, that's why. She loves gloming onto things and doing the whole concerned liberal thing.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 66 points 3 months ago (1 children)

"If they are on the left I will obviously condemn"

Admitting out loud she's fine with right-wing violence.

[–] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 46 points 3 months ago

She does more than admit out loud. She proudly supports genocide.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 57 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Self defence is now "leftist violence" lmao

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 41 points 3 months ago

The liberal driller had the right idea.

[–] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 34 points 3 months ago

Any mild thing is violent rhetoric. Its all got to be respectable and nice.

[–] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 56 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

The left is violent and its fine being racist to them ackshually πŸ€“

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

They have to make up their own reality just so they can get upset lmaoooooooo

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 52 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Imagine aligning yourself with fascists after having spent years being harassed by them via Gamergate

[–] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 47 points 3 months ago

Oh yeah she did the "I hated these people that were harassing me at the time. Now I realize they are respectable and I can agree with them unlike hamas communist terrorist."

[–] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 43 points 3 months ago (1 children)

hamas-base It's about ethics in genocide

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

Appealing to fascism makes money. That is why she's doing it.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

if you can't beat em, join em

the gamers won gamergate. the losers swapped sides like Ian Miles Cheong and Wu

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 47 points 3 months ago (1 children)

She and Tim Pool have such a unique ability to form a ruthlessly wrong critique of all that exists. It's like her brain is upside down.

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 36 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think I read somewhere here on Hexbear that Tim Pool dropped out of school at 14 and appears to have never learned a single new thing since then

[–] bunnygirl@hexbear.net 32 points 3 months ago

I just watched the new some more news episode about him and yeah he does say proudly that he dropped out of high school after 2 months (and also that it's cool and good and everybody else should too)

idk how true it actually is tbf cause it is tim pool saying it but yeah

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 40 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Hey Jamie, pull up that statistic of left wing vs right wing extremist violence

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Well fascism and communism are the same thing, so all right wing extremist violence is the same as left wing extremist violence, so leftists commit 100% of the violence. Simple really

[–] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Does that mean the right wing is also 100% responsible for extremist violence? You could have fun with this idea.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

THAT MEANS SAMOA JOE HAS A 266 AND 2 THIRDS PERCENT CHANCE OF LOSING TO ME AT SACRIFICE

[–] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 3 months ago

God no put the Steiner Math away this isn't the time for that

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

MFW we're the ACAB crowd, but we're the crowd that also actually follows laws.

[–] drinkinglakewater@hexbear.net 38 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wait did Tom Cotton get smoked by a contraption?

[–] sharedburdens@hexbear.net 29 points 3 months ago

Brianna Poo

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago

Glorification of dying for a cause is wrong. Yet she condemns his suicide instead of the military he joins, or the various militaries that ally with it. Hmmm

[–] anonochronomus@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago

Compelling argument how-compelling

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

Brianna Wu was successfully bullied by gamergate, and now wants to show she's "one of the good ones".

I give her three years until she's a full-blown CHUD and thanks gamergate for "showing her the error of her ways".

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

Brianna Who?

[–] M68040@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

I’m fine with morally disgusting as long as it isn’t the right.
