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

I think Kamala should eat a cat on live TV, it would help
Incredible political instincts
Turns out that taking wacky J.O. crystal aunt seriously on anything other than vibes assessments is not actually a very serious or good thing to do.
Orb lady appears to have lost the plot and eaten the fruit of fascism
She was always like this lol
Alternatively she was never good and we just memed our way into thinking she was.
(It's this one)
Wait, were there people who actually thought Marianne was even slightly good? She just seemed to me like a person with bizarre views on energies and shit who almost accidentally found herself in a position one iota to the left of the Democrats and who would instantly concede to the party line without even the slightest hesitation if she somehow managed to achieve power of any kind. AOC but farce. I think the orb jokes are funny but she'd do the exact same shit Biden and other genocidal fascists are doing
People are desperate for a lib that isn't just a bloodthirsty trust fund nerd but the majority of them suck so bad that birkenstock wine mom who thinks war crimes really harsh the vibe is like the top 10% of the party morally.
she doesn't think war crimes harsh the vibe, she wants more. She attacked Obama for being too soft on Syria/Assad, stating he needed to invade
she attacked Obama for being too soft on Assad, stating he should have invaded when "red lines" were crossed like chemical weapon attacks. Imagine being more imperialist than Obama.
There was about a 10-minute period back in 2019-2020 where she Reiki crystal'ed her way into something approaching Labor Theory of Value, followed by a bunch of semi-coherent mouth noises that implied a generally antiwar approach to foreign policy. That was really about it; I think she was already irrelevant before we got to hear any takes on whether or not granola and wheatgrass could cure COVID.

That's what the orb was the entire time.

Why aren't people voting democrat?
crunchy libs, not even once
I'd rather confirm the stereotype of democrats than the stereotype of black immigrants being fucking heathen magicians
What kind of puritan buckle-hat sentiment is this shit.
Her being the stereotype of democrats by thinking "maybe we should hear the chuds out on their bigotry"
Its always funny when they accuse the left of purity tests but scold people who don't cosign them becoming more racist, Xenophobic genocidal etc. I bet right now there are libs whinning about jon stewart roasting dick cheney. Hell the amount praising macron for that bitch move he pulled is a ton

I hate it here.
I always knew she was full of shit. Pleased to see I was right but there's another 2019 flunky turned right wing grifter.
She was a grifter from the jump. She's just selling books
RFK getting some late competition for takes, qanon had its nu-age crowd back in the day
orb mom about to start a flame war over indoor cats
This is what happens when you gaze too long into the orb
The orb in question:
The Orb of Confusion strikes again
[...] the frustrated and humiliated intellectual, the rich and scared speculator, the spoiled son, the labor tyrant, the fellow who has achieved success by smelling out the wind of success—they would all go Nazi in a crisis.

they're zombifying the dogs, they're zombifying the cats
I mean whomst among us hasn't done a little Pet Cemetery because we were sad about the short lifespans of our furry friends.
People from some countries probably eat cats, just as some people in China definitely eat dogs, but neither are coming after your pets and there is no real difference between eating cats & dogs and eating pigs/goats/chickens/cows. However if you're already inside the moral event horizon of thinking it's okay to murder some sentient creatures for food and your ill-though-out cultural mores say some of those are off limits (just because okay?) I can see why the only real avenue available to you, if you want to be not racist, is to deny that it happens.
carnies explaining why mass murdering some sentient creatures is cool and normal but why murdering the ones they keep locked up in their homes is profane and horrifying.
carnies
don't do carnival barkers dirty like this
Child abusing christian cults are real and not featuring them heavily in a presidential debate proves no ones listens to me, the voter.
Cows are extremely sweet and affectionate animals, just like cats and dogs, and i will always fail to see the difference.
All this concern over cats coming from the people who own cats are lonely and pathetic tables is doing a number on my noggin.
Cows are great. They're like dogs, but I like cows.
I guess she is a real democrat. Four years of red team: We love immigrants, ICE is fascist, concentration camps.
Four years of blue team: Actually we want to kill immigrants more, we are the most racist, a vote for blue is a vote for racism.
Immigrants will come and defile our crops using voodoo curses taught by ancient crones
Le Grande Maitre is here and will begin leveling untold psychic damage on our most mystical citizens
Fuckin dumbass lol
What kind of esoteric racism am I missing by not being American that the jump from practicing vodou to eating cats is a logical progression for 
?
Voodoo was practiced by many slaves, especially in Jamaica and Haiti. Escaped slaves from the Caribbean would make their way to the American south, bringing their religion with them. White christians saw voodoo as a threat to the white power structure, so they deliberately made stuff up to demonize voodoo practitioners. This allowed them to control the narrative, such as slaves should be kind to their masters.
People who aren't part of the religion often have negative stereotypes about voodoo and its adherents. Even today, it carries a lot of negative connotations. White Christians often consider it a form of witchcraft or devil worship.

How long until she’s telling Tucker Carlson about deep state forces using psychic warfare to make the country woke?
