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. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

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

Oh this is what people in the denver socials have been frothingfash about.

Jfc. Just, fucking fascists.

So this is probably a scooby doo real estate scam to evict everyone and bulldoze the proprty to build condos or something, right?

Oh i didn't realize this was cenk.

The aurora pd are the one's who murdered Elijah McClain in cold blood a few years ago. They poisoned him with ketamine and he died begging for his life. Sure, send in the cops, Cenk. " the young turks" really was a clue all along.

This guy went from vaguely leftist to unironic fox news our cities are war zones. Hell of a transformation.

If there were even the slightest hint of a whisper of an echo of this story being true, APD would run wild with it. But they showed up and even they had to admit it was bullshit.

Like APD has always been notorious out there. So, idk, if they're not using this for scare tactics, then the most nothingest burger.

From the chuds I've heard talk about it, the APD is in on the DEI conspiracy. Deeply unserious people.

gd, is the strat for them just to be too exhausting to argue with?

Never believe that chuds are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The chuds have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
