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

They were just champing at the bit for an excuse to get more racist. I can't believe the utter heel turn with their border rhetoric

This is very plainly drawing a difference between "liberals defending Biden" and "garden variety conservatives."

I'm well aware what they tried to do, I'm saying they failed because they don't know what liberalism is because they have a bullshit mangled colloquial understanding of it that doesn't accurately describe reality

Aaaand he caved in to the hysterical activists. Wonderful. +10

The ones that had a fit because he used a word. I'm guessing. +19

Biden gets a ton of shit for this even though Trump uses Nazi rhetoric to discuss immigrants. +3

"Biden appoligizes to murderer for being not politically correct, while Trump visits and helps the family of the victim mourn". Quite a great headline to garner support, makes Biden seem like a complete asshole that cares about being Politically correct over the death of an American.

Calling the murderer an illegal shouldn’t be considered a mistake

Biden just delivered an all-time state of the union address, and bozos from his own party are getting worked up about a word that most Americans are comfortable using, but pissed off the progressives. +8

If Biden’s team was smart, they’d name a bill after her to control the border by hiring more agents and installing border surveillance in the hot spots. Let republicans shoot the bill down…again. I’m not a Trump supporter. I hate him. The border does need to be controlled better though. I’m not preaching hate. I’m just saying we all lock our doors and cars at night. It’s the same thing. We’re just trying to keep bad people out, not everyone. +6

Nah bro these totally aren't Biden supporters, absolute "garden variety conservatives", lmao hey happened to the fuckin colloquial definition, I can't seem to find it?

I'm not arguing about this. I'm saying you should have brought up this actual substantive stuff right away rather than posting multiple paragraphs about the definition of a word

...the original post was a link to the content. You shouldnt have commented unless you clicked the link to see what we were even talking about.

You don't have to know shit about the underlying post to point out that dogpiling someone for using the most common definition of "liberal" is a poor way to communicate with them.

I read the underlying post, anyway.

You can't break out "aren't we trying to learn here" on one hand and then drop reddit shit like this on the other

Everyone else already made my point for me, and you have at least dodeca-ed down

If the pattern I've noticed on hexbear persists, we are about three more back and forths away from your mask slipping and you getting banned, so I'm just gonna leave it at this comment and call it a day.

Lmao what kind of horseshit is this? "You did not submit to my obviously superior intellect, so you must be some secret reactionary whose mask is just a hair from slipping?"

Not even close, but go ahead and assume you know anything about me at all
