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

Libs wonder how Nazis took germany and then eat up propaganda like this

I often wonder if like your average german of the 30's got transplanted to today and was like god damn you people are racist as fuck.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

you people

ofc from a german

They took germany because Hitler spoke very goodly with his populist speeches. That’s why Biden can’t complete a sentence and appeals to nobody. He’s being tactical in order to prevent a populist voter base from giving him too much power.

No they say they wonder how it happened but nothing's happening behind those eyes.

Explaining the middle east to a burger: "Imagine fucked up insect animal fascism I smell burnt toast"

Is there a better description of Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iraq Today? They are the caterpillars.

Um... yeah i think there's probably many better descriptions of those countries. Who the fuck wrote this Thomas Friedman?

Why are all the dogs in the neighborhood barking all the sudden

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

The dogs are an analogy for the woke mob trying to stifle my free speech by cancelling me for comparing human beings to wasps.

Is trying to explain why Iran is a bad actor in the region.

Lists 4 countries completely ruined by US foreign policy over decades.

???

[–] [email protected] 31 points 9 months ago

I'm pretty sure that Iran is an old lion, and the US is a parasitoid wasp.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago

It’s actually an apt description. Just as lions should not be in jungles, neither should the US be in the Middle East

The racism is off of the charts. I'm expecting ancient racial slurs in the next paragraph

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Could not reach for the standby: the 'U.S. ... is a paper tiger.'
