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

My country told me that my country is good and other country is bad, have you considered that? smuglord

“The bad guys” according to neocons

Worth noting that the majority opinion (specifically John Roberts' concurrance) that overturned Roe V Wade literally used this same logic:

In short, the viability rule was created outside the ordinary course of litigation, is and always has been completely unreasoned, and fails to take account of state interests since recognized as legitimate. It is indeed “telling that other countries almost uniformly eschew” a viability line. Ante, at 53 (opinion of the Court). Only a handful of countries, among them China and North Korea, permit elective abortions after twenty weeks; the rest have coalesced around a 12–week line.

Do anti DPRK and anti Iran people ever notice they're on the same side as Israel, US, UK, Australia, and Germany?

Truths are complicated and challenging. We don't have to take sides or teams; although I know it's difficult given then times we live in, where we feel the pressure to take sides given how fast we are bombarded with information. Join me and others in the effort to be comfortable with cognitive dissonance, and remember that regardless of any political leaning or nationality, we are all connected by our common humanity. Let's not antagonize eachother. Good luck in your search for answers.

if you're experiencing cognitive dissonance INVESTIGATE WHY WTF

[–] [email protected] 33 points 10 months ago

Self-aware enough to recognise cognitive dissonance but too much of a coward to challenge my lazy good guys bad guys assumptions. Who’s with me?

That is prime tagline material. Who do I need to ~~threaten~~ ping to get it up there?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is the type of thinking that is the antithesis to my very being. I always told myself that I was overreacting thinking these kinds of people actually existed. It makes me so sad to see someone claim it so proudly.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Normally I'd feel sad about this too, but seeing the libs rally behind genocide has made me go full Jonkler. I only have disdain for these shits.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well the current government is a far right wing theocracy so I doubt it

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

who knows, they did it with trans stuff, maybe theyll decide to change their minds based on some obscure passage again

[–] [email protected] 49 points 10 months ago

Do people who like mustaches ever notice they're on the same side as Joseph Stalin? Really makes you think.

No, in fact, it reinforces that I am on the correct side.

What an odd subreddit to ask that question in, lmao. Wtf does Sam Harris have to do with any of this 😂😂

[–] [email protected] 33 points 10 months ago

it's just a community for racists

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago

Presumably nothing except that he's jacking himself raw as on of the 2000s preeminent debate bro Islamophobes and racists. I suspect this is his sub doing the same.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago

one of the comments there says he's a zionist who claimed people who don't support israel "lack moral clarity", and I'm not gonna bother looking that up to see whether it's true but damn son

[–] [email protected] 40 points 10 months ago

Oh damn you're right, I am pro DPRK.

For some reason, it’s extremely easy to confuse material wealth with moral worth. Throughout history.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

We have the stuff, therefore we are worthy of having the stuff. It’s self evident!

See white supremacy. Manifest destiny. White saviorism. Etc Etc
