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 maybe the most unoriginal idea for a political cartoon, there are like a hundred of them with this nonsensical revolving statue thing. I appreciate the red arrows though, could have been a little tough to understand what is happening otherwise.

There’s an edited version of this drawing that replaced Marx with Freddy Fazbear lmao

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Engels made up Freddy to antagonize Marx

i like how the marx statue and the base of the genocide statue are magically passing through the ground without displacing it.

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

eveytime columbus is brought up i must, and i repeat, must, remind everyone that he was so evil and doing so much killing, slavery, and r*pe that his own men tattled him out to the queen and it was enough to shock even the colonialist elite at the time how awful he was

like image being so bad you even shock inbred colonialists who literally do genocide with your depravity

Oh yeah, all Columbus statues are like that. Not necessarily Marx, but they need to occupy the space of someone more deserving and put them in the ground

Is there anything about Marx, that makes him the opposite of Columbus? Did Marx sail?

[–] AnarchoSnowPlow@midwest.social 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Marx did the opposite of sail.

He positioned himself on a small island off the coast and sang beautiful songs to attract unwitting sailors. They would destroy their ships on the rocks trying to find the source of the beautiful songs. At which point the surviving sailors would each get an autographed copy of Das Kapital. This is why modern day capitalists fear Marxism, global sea trade would grind to a half if even five well positioned people followed in the footsteps of Marx.

This is also why each statue of Columbus is required, by US federal law, to have a Marx statue attached to the bottom. It's to provide the proper counterbalance when attaching the statue to the ground, otherwise these things would flip on their own all the time. It makes the Columbus statue neutrally buoyant.
