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

The Economist, a journal that speaks for the British millionaires, is pursuing a very instructive line in relation to the war. - Lenin.

How to prevent dementia

The Economist knows its audience.

The Economist is a gaggle of calcified Brits who can only communicate by jabbing their crinkled fingers into the backs of the lickspittles who actually come up to try and curry some favor

pretty sure it's just a different photo

[–] Hexamerous@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago

Agreed. People in here are taking the tweet literally, like they photoshoped it. It's erasure that they made an "editorial choice" to use the photo without the Palestinian/Red flags. That was not an accident on their part. And the left photo just objectively "pops" and draws your eye more.

It couldn't be more clear that this is a completely different photo... Do people here really think this was photoshopped???

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I knew it wasnt when i posted it, maybe i should have mentioned. Its still deliberate tho.

I dont take the dunk tank so seriously, and its kinda irrelevant imo, they might as well have used an anticommunist AI to touch up the photo

Yeah, the choice of one photo over another still says a lot.

Incredible. They didn’t even try to make it realistic. They just moved the flag from the right over to the left side and kept the lighting lol
