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
They then complain and call everything they hate tankie
Lmao "Um actually they think Donald Trump is a lib"
He IS a lib. FFS Americans learn what political terms mean before applying them. This is how you get an entire country thinking that the Democrats are left.
Hah no. Tankies want him elected.
IDK which tankies you are seeing, but the ones on Lemmy are Russian trolls who very clearly favor Donald Trump
The tankies I see on Lemmy are Zionist trolls who deny Genocide and favor Joe Biden.
Just making it all up as they go along.
Tankies is just the word they use for peoplw they don't agree with
nah that word is usually russian bot
They’re synonymous at this point
Nah they have another thread to explain Russian bots
That last one is really something. I am so curious as to how they claim to this conclusion.
Edit: nevermind it is linkerbaan lmao
Linker–anyone to the left or right of me is a Tankie–baan

I hate Donald Trump because he is America personified.
You hate Donald Trump because he's uncivil and rude.
We are not the same. 
I hate him because he perfectly ecapulates the double standards of the American justice system. If he was a poor black dude breaking the law he would be in jail or executed by now

America personified.
His record was apparently technically "clean" before this? Like... what the fuck. 
Truth
He mega deserves it for the central park shit
Big boorish oaf that bullies and brags, whining when things don't go their way, cheats constantly and accuses everyone else of cheating.
Did I describe 
or 
?
I love Donald Trump because he's funny, and he's delegitimizing and mismanaging the high office of an empire that needs to finally die.
Chuds love Donald Trump because they think he makes me cry.
We are not the same.
Wow for a moment I was teleported back to Reddit
Sadly isn't that what world is going for?
"liberals are often to the left of tankies" 🫠
'i'm as left as it gets but we need to nuke the houthis and show them why we don't have free healthcare!'
Fun fact, in 2015 the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton Campaign told liberal media to popularize Donald Trump because they said he would be easy to defeat. The Republican party had rejected Trump at the time because he was seen as an outsider. If it had not been for Liberal media, he probably would have never been elected president.

"We need to be elevating the Pied Piper candidates so that they are leaders of the pack and tell the press to them seriously"
You can still see the videos of Liberal media promoting Trump in 2015 on mainstream Liberal media youtube channels.

This is just a few example, you can go to the CNN or MSNBC youtube channel and search "Trump 2015" and there's dozens of videos. MSNBC and CNN promoted Trump for several months during 2015.
Dude was the most benign Republican of the last 100 years. Maybe Ford could be argued, but compared to the 2 Bushes, Regan and Nixon, he was alright. People freaking the fuck out over him made history change for the stupider and arguably worse but yknow, his actions as president pale in comparison to Reagan mics, the Iraq wars, invading Afghanistan, Iran Contra and it's surrounding crimes against humanity, bombing Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia into smithereens etc. He's just a loud and silly dumb guy, really not a big deal.
He's just a loud and silly dumb guy, really not a big deal.
That's why he's a big deal to civility brained libs. He's bringing the office of the president into disrepute by acting like he acts. Compared to that, not killing millions of people doesn't even matter.
We can condone bombing civilians
But we draw the line at civility
why did i click the link. i didnt need to receive the psychic damage that occurs every time a liberal opens their mouth
Glad to see the 'well actually' nerds are still at it, correcting the record, with the caveat that we deny there is a genocide going on in China.
You know, the one that has no substantial proof outside of the ravings of a Christian lunatic and some unaccountable websites, that is not believed by a single international body. The accusations that rings especially hollow now that we know what evidence of what an actual genocide looks like in the era of smart phones, and how the U.S. and international bodies actually respond to such atrocities.
But ya know, they gotta get their digs in at us somehow while still getting things completely wrong. God, they're just so very smart!
and shit sometimes i doubt myself, maybe libs are the ones holding the truth, but then i come by stuff like this and im like
nah, not them
Dios Mio! draws a cross
"the tankies I see are Russian bots who support trump"
And more unserious stuff tonight on the 10 o clock news
commenters in that thread: did u no its actually extreme right wing to be a leftist and it's actually super leftist to be a centrist???
😤
