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

try criticizing nathan j robinson here and you'll likely get a little taste of the kneejerk defense of a parasocial friend

Who's Nathan j Robinson and why do people here like him? I've literally never heard of him

socdem writer who dresses like he's trying to beat indiana jones to the ark of the covenant

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

when I see his picture I imagine him saying "ah, Dr. Jones"

There were false accusations against him wrt union busting, but that doesn't make him not a piece of shit for other reasons

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago

Yeah, he sucked before the "union" flap, he still sucks. He's got a classic western chauvinist view of AES and foreign policy

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Really? cuz I don't think I've ever personally seen anyone stan him.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (2 children)

There was a recent minor struggle session running into hundreds of comments about him and there were some very fervent defenders

Guess I was touching grass that day shrug-outta-hecks

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago

I didn’t see that one but I feel like that has to be transplants from the fediverse. I remember in 2022 or so he came up and most people were dunking on him. Idk he’s one of those people I notice people cyclic getting softer on during election years so who knows

I don't want to sully your pure mind-palace if you don't already know about NJR, go forth in the world unburdened by the knowledge of yet another chauvinist cracker
