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

4th most upvoted comment in a thread of 843 comments:

Jan 6th made him the worst, say what you want about Buchanan or Jackson but at least they did their atrocities within the system they were elected to uphold.

"Say what you want about genocides, at least they weren't Jan 6"

jesus fucking christ lmao that comment feels like it was written in some kind of laboratory as a distillation of pure liberalism

That's not what reddit is?

Liberals only talk like this about 1/6 because they’re convinced that it will be used to stop Trump from winning the presidency. Their TDS means that stopping Trump is more important than even acknowledging the many genocides the USA has and still is perpetrating.

"Do what you want as long as it isn't against the rules!"

God these people are pathetic

I'd love to give them such an intense wedgie that their underwear rips.

A tacit admission that liberals construct their morality around what the state deems acceptable

It a worldview like that, a half-hearted insurrectionist riot becomes worse than countless massacres and dispossessions

A literal upside-down ideology

A literal upside-down ideology

A privilege held by those safe from the state violence that's levied against others that they carelessly protect; the moment they get a taste of this violence (and I hope they do), now they want reasonability and humanity and they start being rational. An infantile view of life is a privilege of the safe.

wtf

Isn't it also not true of Andrew Jackson? He refused to enforce a supreme court ruling, famously. Lol.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago

You must consider that most of these people are politically and historically illiterate.

now that I think about it Jan 6 was actually good since only chuds and cops were killed

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And in true gift that keeps on giving fashion, the chuds were dragged by fellow chuds and accused of being leftists.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 8 months ago

You can tell how reluctant they were to use the word “atrocities”. It won’t be long before even that is too much to ask for from these genocide apologist fucks

[–] [email protected] 41 points 8 months ago

If the system allows for genocide then that system doesn't deserve to exist.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago

They were just ~~following~~ giving orders!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago

Jackson brazenly flouting a supreme court decision is "working within the system", apparently

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago

Say what you will about the guy who actually kicked off a Civil War, but look at these TikToks.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

once again, admitting that their main problem with the nazi genocides was that they were illegal...

these are definitely sockpuppet accounts (at least the upvotes). Please don't assume even the average PMC labor aristocrat is like this lol. but idk maybe pmc labor aristcrat redditors are.
