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

yes, a tiny slowdown in treat delivery for example.

They're just concern trolling for imaginary ambulances that might need to make their way through again. I remember seeing a Hong Kong color revolution video back when leddit was fawning over them and they blocked highways then. An ambulance drove by and stopped, and the color revolution agents simply scooted over to let it through.

The only reasons this doesn't happen in the US are because nobody can afford an ambulance and because someone always tries to Truck the protesters to death within minutes anyway.

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago

Every protest I've ever been a part of just lets ambulances by, it's fairly simple.

The type of people who'd refuse to wear a mask during a plague because it'd mostly benefit others at the cost of some mild inconvenience to themselves

So many PMC shitheads have this attitude and I hate it. It's so patronizing and privileged

Incredibly high sense of self importance they basically want you to beg for their support. And if you ever get their support it will amount to nothing anyway cos they exist only to boost their own ego.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago

Can you imagine the hubris of needing to be convinced to care about genocide? At least a Republican is like "I get that it's awful, but they're brown." Then they agree with you about Israel being illegitimate and you probably shouldn't associate with them.

But really, to think it's a complicated issue whether the 10s of thousands of deaths could even begin to be justified because some people took hostages. To never even take a moment to ask why people in an open air prison who have tried unsuccessfully to leverage peaceful means to end an illegal occupation have the vengefully upset among them. It's a bad joke joker-che

These people are worms who lead insignificant lives. Activists don't even need to outnumber them. They just need to keep pressing.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

or suggested the forced relocation of Israelis to Germany.

This is the real and only reason why they’re upset

Valid reasons as to why America should be a smoldering crater: People like this

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

Funny, because if I said I don't like the right because they're rude to me, that's being sensitive.
