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

Lmao the Australian tendency to forget you're Australian

Tbh that applies to so much of the angloid world. Very brainwashed into thinking they're the Ameribrains they see on TV and social media

He's so engrossed in America he forgets he's the son of Cypriot immigrants

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

Many such cases

So he's voting for Trump by not physically voting for Harris.

Drew is the antipodean Ian Miles Cheong

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 39 points 3 months ago

Drew is what happens when a kid born in 1999 is raised on animated history Youtube

[–] shath@hexbear.net 35 points 3 months ago

never have i seen someone who embodies the liberal sense of "protest" that's completely ineffectual at anything apart from making you look like a fucking idiot

[–] WorkingClassCorpse@hexbear.net 34 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This is a genius bit

Just constantly weigh in passionately for every global election that's happening, pledge your vote, and then when asked, clarify that you were only speaking 'metaphysically'

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

I was merely voting in Minecraft

"PAVLOU? THAT IS A NAME FROM THE THALASSONIKIAN PENINSULA. YOU ARE NOT WHITE.

CW:measurehead

spoilerYOU ARE A LAMB ROAST, SWEATY WITH THE ODOR OF GARLIC. YOUR ANCESTORS WERE BEIGE MEN DRESSED IN TOGAS, OBSESSED WITH TURGID MATHEMATICS, OMPHALOSKEPSIS AND PÉDERASTIE, CLINGING TO COMPETITIVE ATHLETICS IN A FEEBLE ATTEMPT TO DISPLAY MASCULINITY. YOUR RACE IS ENDOMORPHIC AND LETHARGIC. THEIR IDEA OF CULTURE IS EATING OVERRIPE FIGS AND DRINKING SPICED AL-GHUL."
going to wash my hands after typing this bern-disgust

xi-clap i love measurehead

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 17 points 3 months ago

His family is from Cyprus, his followers would generally call him a wog and not white.

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 28 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Unlike you peasants, I do not vote with my ballot; he who votes with his ballot has forgotten the penis of his father.

I vote with my posts.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago

Hail and well met to thee, Voteslinger.

Infraelectorialism

"Metaphysical"

...

Metaphorical?

I mean, voting is technically a metaphysical concept already.

[–] Bay_of_Piggies@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

His vote transcends space and time, it's an extragalactic vibe

[–] AndJusticeForAll@hexbear.net 23 points 3 months ago

Each metaphysical non-vote for Kamala is 2 metaphysical votes for Trump.

[–] Yor@hexbear.net 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

  • I am dumb

  • I am cringe

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago

You cannot bring anything immaterial into politics without the waveform collapsing into cringe. This is why we do material analysis

[–] Chapo_is_Red@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

Gonna start telling libs I've voted metaphysically and don't need to show up to the polls in November

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

Is this Idealism?

[–] HotAtForty@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Citizens of vassal states being hyper engaged with uninspiring US politicians is so fucking cringe.

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 3 months ago

I think it's very, very telling that all of our loudest and most aggressive "Australian nationalists" like this behave exactly like shithead Americans. They claim to want to protect Australian culture from "foreigners" but they were raised on American tv and know nothing about their own country.

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

Metaphysically? To me, the word means Inherently? Supporting?

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago
  • I am white.

  • I am not straight.

  • I am a man.

And I'm voting for Vermin Supreme.
