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

Remember when TYT was somewhat progressive? Now it's just pandering to chuds.

I don't even understand who their audience is anymore, I can't imagine a full on chud watching TYT but I also can't really imagine libs watching it

I can't imagine a full on chud watching TYT

I actually do know chuds who watch TYT, and it's how they form their perception of "the left"

It's funny to see Dave Rubin first split off with his own chud show, then Jimmy Dore, and now TYT as a whole is going chud.

I don’t think they’re going to make the full pivot to chud content. They’ll just end up like Bill Maher and continue to be anti-Republican while agreeing with them on nearly everything. Blue MAGA.

same-picture to me sometimes, but you're right, there's a distinction between the two

I don't follow him closely, but my impression that he's a "crunchy granola QAnon" type at this point

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

He's a contrarian dumbass without any sound ideological foundation that sticks his finger in the wind to find an angle on the latest outrage cycle to get the most clicks from the reactionary audience he's cultivated. Initially he was an anti-Clinton Bernie guy that had some good impulses but was always the kind of dumbass that was sympathetic to Tulsi Gabbard and supported the Lava Jato stitch up in Brazil while knowing nothing about it. I don't watch him and haven't heard about him in years but I'd imagine he was an RFK Jr dipshit this year.

Check out the latest knowledge fight (#958) about it but yeah he has fully gone off. This is about his show on rumble where he had alex jones on as a guests

My boss is a bluemaga TYT watcher, literally the only person I know of who fits the description.

needs to be preserved in a museum before TYT watchers go extinct. recommend embalming him

My gut says non-white CHUDs. Fox is a little too hateful to brown people, so there's a niche there.

This is what happens when you attach yourself to the democratic party - you start following it's course
