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

The US has been attacked in the region? Interesting. Care to talk about what the US was doing there, thousands of miles away from its shore? Any conversation about that? Any analysis about that?

Maybe if the US doesn't want to be attacked in a foreign country it should stay the fuck out of that country

Care to talk about what the US was doing there

Uh... spreading dem...ocracy? With frrrr...eee markets? Hey look! UAF! AI Hologram! The Dean at Columbia plagiarized a series of racial slurs!

The us and it's allies have been doing literal, actual genocide in the region for the last decade, and apparently the cease fire or peace deal or whatever was just a little fib from dc

I broke into this guy's house and started shooting people, lighting things on fire, and setting off explosives.

somebody tried to shove me back out the door. that's assault.

Why do I keep getting attacked every time I break into other people's houses?!

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

What were they doing in the region? Just curious.

Us military bases getting attacked gets no attention because the USA does not want a massive regional conflict to break out. If the US wanted a big war, US bases been attacked would be all over CNN/FOX/BBC/MSNBC 24/7.

Liberals have no understanding of how empire works and consent gets manufactured, it's actually maddening how willfully ignorant they are.

I hope everyone in that comment section gets 9/11'd

Aw, and I just hopped on there to argue that genocide and imperialism is bad. These days I don't touch my reddit unless I see something from Dunktank here.

Update: this was the post that got me to officially delete my reddit. The final straw was someone saying that Israel was protecting lgbtq Palestinians by...bombing them?

These same assremoved would have said "they are a bit extreme when it comes to killing Jews, but you have to admit they had it coming for them with all their greed and stuff" in Nazi Germany

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Given the direction Germany is moving, they still might

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

"The US and allies have been attacked in the region 130 times" etc

Sure wonder how many of those were the US getting attacked and how many were -- just to throw out an example -- Israel, but we're going to frame it like this to try to sneak around the notice of those people who see Israel getting attacked and rightly think the attacked might have a point.

It's wild how the fucking Saudis are now doves on the subject of bombing Yemen compared to Genocide Joe

These are the most onlyfansbots-looking usernames I've seen in my life.

He’s not. It doesn’t receive enough attention. Those numbers should be higher.
