the_dunk_tank
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.
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

These dipshits thinking they're trad caths while shit talking the pope will never not be funny to me.
It's like if somebody based their entire personality on the movie fight club and went around saying "the first rule of fight club is you have to tell everybody you know about fight club"
Why try to pigeonhole yourself into an external personality if you dont agree with one of the core tenants.
There is literally only one good point in those pictures, and it is that neanderthals get a bad rap. Not that neanderthals were all muscular and long-lived (they weren't), just that they get a bad rap. Neanderthals are cool.
Do you have any cool neanderthal facts you're willing to share?
One theory I've heard is that they were super peaceful compared to homosapiens. Not sure when or where I read that
I have the impression that the pro-neanderthal sentiment can be a thin end of a racist wedge.
Here is a map from wikipedia captioned "Known Neanderthal range in Europe (blue), Southwest Asia (orange), Uzbekistan (green), and the Altai Mountains (violet) ":
So look at that and think, "what would a racist see". Don't be to cute about it.
With neanderthals being actually pretty smart and cool, they can be seen to contribute that certain je ne sais quoi to white people that makes them actually biologically distinct from other humans. Which is of course a closed question (FAKE) generally speaking.
I'm not saying that's true and I'm not saying anyone here is saying it. I'm just saying that there could be some motivated reasoning.
Wait, a stereotype of Neanderthals was they were long lived?
That thread image is all just leftists fucking with each other isn’t it?
It's just one leftist - it's a comic by the artis BeanyTuesday. Same guy who gave us
Those emojis are not a familiar reference for me
