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

recording random people in public should earn you an automatic beating, upgraded to immediate death sentence if you record a worker

[–] [email protected] 69 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Chuds think they're such alpha males and females and yet they are total fucking busy body suburban psychos just filming people who have the audacity to be poor.

sometimes it's incredible how unchanged they are from the bullies they were as kids

e: speaking from anecdotes, ofc

They never really grew up and it became socially acceptable to continue punching down well into adulthood.

That's exactly what it is, their addiction to hating on people together as a group to find camaraderie, their juvenile arguments, their lying and overdramatizing to get attention and their delight in cheering each other on when one of them deliberately upsets someone by doing something they're told might bother that person. And Democrats talk to these people like a pushover parent, pretending any of what they say has merit or deserves fair consideration.

Service workers should be allowed to beat these assholes with a bat full of nails.

don't post shit under your real name people

[–] [email protected] 67 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Your real name should just not be on the internet wherever you can avoid it, period. Only sign up for stuff under your real name when it's absolutely necessary. Tell every other website that your name is ben dover or mike hawk.

Chaya, you just took a photo of a random person and censored "assassinate". How are you this far from cool?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 3 months ago

Man I'm fedposting so hard in my head right now

I might need to expand the budget and hire new mental feds to handle how much I am federally posting in my mind

[–] [email protected] 54 points 3 months ago (3 children)

> willing to ruin someone's life over nothing

> not willing to say the word "assassination"

online "content creators" always censor controversial terms like "kill" or "genocide" or "bomb" or "assassination" because the algorithm deprioritizes or demonetizes them if they don't. They have started saying "unalive" instead of kill. Love to have our language directed and policed by this shit.

This type of thing bothers me immensely as well. It won't be long before social media companies start hand choosing innocuous words associated with labor movements to give the algorithmic suppression treatment to. In fact, I'm 100% sure they already do it under our noses. This is why projects like Lemmygrad and Hexbear fill me with hope. The left can't use the internet to organize until we have decentralized social media kept firmly away from profit seeking.

What's worse is that this is quite literally how Newspeak worked in 1984 (not banning words, but changing them to remove nuance and depth), but everyone just cheerfully accepts it while calling everything else as being like 1984

*Former President

I hate that Americans call him 'President Trump'.

biden-alert Former Presinald Trunt

[–] [email protected] 43 points 3 months ago

It's one of the most unfortunate things ever, but calling presidents by the title after they leave office has precedent back pretty far. It's not new for Trump. One might argue, correctly, that right wingers are hitting it with a bit too much emphasis in some intangible way... but it is correct to call him that.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 months ago

ex-presidents get to keep the title, so it's technically correct— the most annoying kind

[–] [email protected] 42 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Chuds saw their own goblin friends getting fired for saying slavery was good and they were like is-this but for anyone being mean to Trump.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 months ago

Wait but I thought "cancel culture" was a thing the evil communist left who controls society through Soros does?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The thing they obviously dont get is people wouldn't need to say anything if people like Trump didnt exist. Is there no sense of "are we the baddies" with these people?

More like Home Despot. Like I needed a reason to go to Ace instead.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago

Not to be hijack this into doomerism, but is anyone else falling into deep despair that the CHUDs have won so absolutely that the only reason we even register as a nuisance is when they casually go out ruining our lives or just doing hate crimes just because they're BORED!?
