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

Praying on street corners is a paddlin'
the onion couldn't make this shit up
British comedian Russell Brand, facing allegations of rape and sexual assault from multiple women, doubled down on his commitment to Christianity over the weekend.
That article omits that Bear Grylls was there when he got baptized for some reason lol
Baptized by piss.
revealed he was baptized Sunday in the River Thames.
It sounds like he was.
Baptized in Shit is a sick album by crust band Extinction of Mankind
This punk ass had me in the first half watching his YouTube for a bit. He's no different from the people he talked smack on. Sellout loser, i hope they throw the book at him.
Might wanna CW that
He's NOT the messiah! He's a very naughty boy!
Get Him to the Greek (Orthodox)
Forgetting Sarah Marshall's Consent
the only surprising thing about predators fleeing to bornagain churches is how it only occurs to them after they're exposed like everyone knows the church will help predators, he could've done this decades ago
I was for some reason given tickets to see him talk around 2014, and he wouldn't shut the fuck up about god so honestly i thought he already was 'Christian'
I mean is this incorrect, historically speaking?
i'm failing to parse this, are we agreeing? or debating if abusers don't come to churches before getting caught? they definitely do, it's just weird that someone like Brand could see the proverbial big flashing billboard advertising they're pro-abuse, while being an abuser, and not think to sign up
I was more referencing how the Catholic Church deliberately and secretly protected child molesters for decades
I think I also misunderstood what you were saying
ah ok d'accord
New Atheist grifters not jumping into bed with Christian nationalists challenge (impossible)
Godless grifters: How the New Atheists merged with the far right
ugh I watched this happen in realtime
one thing i always liked about hitchens was he was a consistent prick and also wasnt a coward... when challenged on waterboarding he actually did it and was like, oh shit this is torture i was wrong and wrote that article
were he alive hed be clowning on these fools and his jerk-stain of a brother
Hitchens wasn’t just a prick, he was an apologist for imperialism just like these three goons were and still are.
Average Trotskyist
i was thinking the same thing. Don't need a video, i was there
Remember when the IDW started their grift? And when people started quoting Peterson like he was an atheist? Just a whole bunch of cringe, and people who never actually outgrew their brainworms.
What timeline is this?
Every fake-leftist grifter online winds up converting to Catholicism.
Ugh, I have a relative who loves his podcast (and Joe Rogan)
So fucking cringe I hate how these assholes grift people close to me
Guess that when people with actual convictions figured out that he was just a venal prick they stopped being as nice to him. He has been trying so damn hard to be the cool radical who stands up to the man for his entire career, harder sell when the guy is older than the parents of the people he is trying to impress and lech on.
Not sure if this is the same as the Dawkins cultural Christian shtick (99% just Islamophobia), Brand seems like the kind of guy that would fall for the love bombing that churches give converts.
Don't worry I'm sure mr brand will have some more convictions soon
Smart move. Only god can save him at this point...oh wait if she exists, she prolly doesn't like any of this shit. Oh well.
He went balls deep into the CHUD grifting scene. Go get those Christo-fascist clicks.
DEEPLY UNSERIOUS
Brand is indeed a challenge has been. But is he the biggest?
what a prick lmao
He'll be dating Dasha within 6 months
