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

Weren't Yoda's failures and blindness to what was happening around him part of the reason the empire came to be in the first place? He was too weak to stop Palpatine

[–] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is literally the same analogy as that "Biden is like Hindenburg" lib from yesterday, who was seemingly unaware that Hindenburg was democratically elected and yet was unable to prevent Hitler from coming to power anyway...

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago

unable to prevent Hitler from coming to power

Weird way to spell "appointed him chancellor".

[–] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was, which is why The Last Jedi had Luke trying to correct the faults of the Jedi, except the movie half-assed it just like every other cowardly decision made in that movie.

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Somehow its the least cowardly sequel lmao

Yoda failed Anakin and the Galactic Republic.

[–] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yoda died alone in a hut, and the last thing he ever did is reveal to his student that he had been rizzing up his own sister for the past four years. And for the past year Yoda ALLOWED his student to rizz up his own sister. So I guess that means Hunter Biden will have to join the Houthis and save the galaxy...

hahaha this is an incredible post, it would be even better if it called them Ansarallah!

These days he's CG.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do libs inderstamd that fiction isn't real?

I mean Yoda is frail and wise for the same reason he's short and green - somebody made it the fuck up.

People are questioning Biden because he's an old man with dementia. That's real, you can't spin that no matter how many cinematic universe characters you compare him to

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Do libs understand fiction isn't real?

"Uhm this is just like Harry Potter! Silly tankies just don't understand we're the adults in the room! :smuglord: "

when nine hundred years you reach, stop fascism you will not

[–] Tachanka@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

sicko-instapot let him cook

[–] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

Biden's like Yoda

Incapable of seeing the fascism swelling up in the republic?

Unwilling to acknowledge let alone address systemic injustices?

Like, 1000 years old?

About to self exile to escape his fuck-ups?

[–] Tachanka@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Joe Biden is a geriatric puppet who lives in a swamp

yeah checks out

[–] Spike@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

And going to die soon

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Hmm, yeah. Very reassuring to know that he is old and frail like Yoda who passes away by the end of the original trilogy. ~~Not that I'm against Biden just dying.~~

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

It's not that far off from the lich king angle they suggested on chapotraphouse.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Fundamentally, change nothing will

I don't really mind if he can't do push-ups, he can't even speak properly. Something which Yoda can.

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

"A big liar, you are. Best government America has seen, mine is."

"Some votes you have lost, it seems? How embarrassing!"

"When 90 years old you are, not so good will you speak, hmm?"

Didn't the Trump campaign already confirm that he's a Sith, in that May 4th poster?

[–] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

They see me in that Bugatti podracer, they hate me, they hate me

delusional enabler of fascism? Sounds about right

Smoking crack in a 2001 Honda Civic feels more like a Hunter thing to do

[–] WeedReference420@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would be cool if Yoda had a Hunter Biden equivalent

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yoda has a son named Yonter. He spends money on gratol, hits the wantrel pipe, and does tons of trobane. His exploits are covered in the Quantumbolids and TMZ. He's also a painter.

[–] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Biden is actually like Bruce Willis in the Sixth Sense.

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

He's gonna die in a swampy exile after a twink asks him too many questions?

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Biden may be like Yoda and Trump may be like Jabba, but sadly the average voter is like either the Tusken raiders or the affluent arms dealers in episode 8.

[–] footfaults@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The average American voter is the janitorial staff on the death star
