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

Argentina now has greater inflation than Venezuela and they're not embargoed. Also they managed to reach it in like 3 months.

Crazy how I don't see any conservatives talking about Argentina Style Inflation

Fascists having no artistic talent and consistently using AI-generated art is kinda funny.

What's the deal with the right always chadifing their leaders?

Someone once asked Ben Garrison why he draws Trump 80 lbs thinner than he actually is and his response was “I draw him the way that matches his self-image.” Which is absolutely hilarious that a conservative would be arguing that internal image overrides outward biology.

Fascism is pretty much all about appearance.

ETA: Also genocide.

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Fascism is when everyone claps. Everyone.

Not the same, this is how Lenin actually looked like.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

Ahhhh from the fascist propagandists that gave us the Ghost of Kiev.

Final Fantasy 8 remake looking terrible.

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When the angle is just right Melei has an absolutely fantastic, oddly attractive 80s villain look. From every other angle he just looks like a potato that's been left in a cupboard for too long.

I love that even the fanfic version has those ugly ass sideburns.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nani the fuck?

Milei calls Milei a Nazi?

Umm I think he's calling el bueno Maduro a donkey that kicks him, or was it the reverse?

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe he's repeating what his dog said to him...

Wait who's the donkey in this scenario? I haven't heard either country associated with them. Is it some burro joke that doesn't translate well?

edit: In the original Spanish- "¿Qué se puede esperar de un burro más que una patada?". Is that wordplay?

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i think it's just a lame insult they're kayfabing into an epic burn. surely there's more biting comparisons than the Noble Ass in the year 2024

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

Donkeys slap ass. Absolute lads.

The price of a good barber has also risen due to inflation, sadly

[–] kot@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Fascists once again being weirdly horny for their leaders

[–] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

sounds like the sort of thing you say after THE DONKEY KICKED YOU?

[–] WeedReference420@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Yassified Milei

Yassified Milei

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

that's not what Milei looks like, visegrad

[–] Melonius@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

This makes sense when you realize the retort was also AI generated
