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

This is part of why I hate liberals so much

Conservatives are disgusting, so you know full well many of them would just be like 'yup, all of them deserved death'

Liberals understand what is currently happening is morally indefensible, but they're gonna vote for the party currently going out of it's way, against the wishes of it's party base, to continue enabling it. Voting for the ouroboros of lesser evilism as said lesser evil burns the world down, because the lesser evil burns it down more slowly than their counterpart would.

OWN YOUR FUCKING SHAME

Liberals want to be seen as the lesser evil because they cry when watching Broadway productions.

Now this might just be a combination of seeing just the death and destruction in gaza and currently being on a 1200kcal deficit but this just gets to me. The Adults In The Room are just acting like children and not some teenagers but 6 year olds going 'LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU', I thought it was about making the hard decisions? Like the reason why the democrats are in there is because they do the 'hard decisions' but they can't deal with the fallout? And even this reaction they have to endure is extremely mild, no one is throwing red paint on them, spraying them with the sewage water like the IDF is in the west bank, this is the mildest shit imaginable and they can't endure it what absolute fucking disgusting sacks of toxic waste.

The reason why they want power is not to wield it but so that trump can't switch the TV channel from their nice show to the crude one. They want to be in power so that the republicans can't tell them to go to bed or some shit like that. Like at least with the old fucks in my emoji you could go 'Ok these guys are old and have never had to deal with this stuff' but all the people in this one are supposed to be political operatives and they are just as much a base primordial soup as some 80 year old seniors who haven't heard anyone tell them no during the last 20 years.

The Adults In The Room are just acting like children and not some teenagers but 6 year olds going ‘LALALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU’,

This is an insult to 6 year olds to compare them to these ghouls.

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 57 points 4 weeks ago

They’ve done their bit, some hand waving towards working tirelessly for a ceasefire that isn’t a ceasefire at all endorsed by their pet ‘progressives’. Then it is time for people to speak about how horrible it is for the hostages and vaguely gesture that some kind of amorphous blob of life also inhabits the area and are dying. We have to assume that the blob is some kind of lower life form given how they’ve been portrayed at the DNC compared to the poor hostages.

I’m kind of surprised that they wouldn’t even let one of their loyalists Palestinians go up and talk about the suffering so they could nobly acknowledge it. Seems like something liberals would be all over.

No. Apologies. For. The. Terror.

God damn it's unfathomable how evil these smug Nazis are. Death to America

[–] stigsbandit34z@hexbear.net 45 points 4 weeks ago

dems are fascists and should be treated as such

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 43 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Plugging their ears. It's truly simply pathetic. I suppose it makes them feel better to themselves and each other but I seriously do not understand how it's possible to do that and not realize you don't look like anything but... Pathetic.

pathetic pigmask-off

How to describe liberals in a video format.

[–] anonochronomus@hexbear.net 39 points 4 weeks ago

When our time comes we need to re-open Sing Sing so these bastards can spend the rest of their lives making big rocks into small rocks all day.

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 39 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

I tried crossposting this to lemmy.ml and it was moderated for reasons of 'anti-bigotry'

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 41 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah you’re being racist against the fascist ethnicity

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 28 points 4 weeks ago

The one reply to it I couldn't respond to (angery) almost said that out loud. Doing the right wing concern trolling about calling 'millions of democrats' nazis as if it's not a voluntary association.

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 21 points 4 weeks ago

what can i say but shoot the boer

[–] miz@hexbear.net 28 points 4 weeks ago

lol they're trying to make democrats a protected class now? I'm only a quarter democrat on my mother's side

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 17 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Are we federated with them?

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 20 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Yup. And the top mod of the comm I posted in is supposedly one of the cool ones.

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 15 points 4 weeks ago

Historically they have been pretty cool, this may be a lower level mod making a bad call so I'd see how it shakes out. Is there an appeal procedure on Lemmy?

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 36 points 4 weeks ago

Republicans may be weird..........but liberals are just plain gross

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 35 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

Far from just covering their ears, which would've been bad enough, that one depraved scumbag was straight up mocking and laughing about the ages of the dead

Edit: lmao folks on Twitter found his old mugshot

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 18 points 4 weeks ago

They have convicted felons at the DNC, they're slowly turning into the very thing the Republicans accuse them of being.

[–] sharedburdens@hexbear.net 33 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR DEMOCRATS THIS MICRO-INSTANT. HATE. HATE.

If someone was reading off victims of Bucha, something tells me their ears would not be covered… Certainly not related to color?

copium

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Victims of Bucha are also on dems heads, Obama and Biden put their murderers in power and never ceased support.

[–] Hexamerous@hexbear.net 22 points 4 weeks ago
[–] Guamer@hexbear.net 15 points 4 weeks ago

You think they could handle hearing or ignoring the protestors for, what, less than a minute at most before they're out of earshot?

As people have said, covering their ears just makes them look pathetic.

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 13 points 4 weeks ago

At what point do you just follow them home and demonstrate their own policies
