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

"No thanks, I'll use this other bank." 
"Why do you hate Freedom!?" 
It's afraid
woah dude its called brics and they made it a brick and its smashing the window of democracy.... this is so deep bro...
There's something seriously wrong with political cartoonists and always has been. They always label things, even when it's obvious. I do not understand this business of labeling a caricature of Uncle Sam "USA" and other dumb shit.
Literally 3 of the countries in the acronym are liberal democracies but you know, color palette and shit.
brazil, russia, india, china, south africa 
isn't it 4 of them that are liberal democracies?
Yeah, but no western imperialist is going to call Russia democratic
How can they be democratic if they recognize Palestine? Idiot
Being against democracy is when you make a peaceful economic alliance of nations spanning all continents
Whenever I see a cartoon by this guy, I like to remind people of the one he drew of Iran as a shower drain with roaches crawling out of it.
It had a tiny ”extremism” text on it though, so the cartoon wasn't racist.
democracy as a system of government has officially become meaningless. it just means "under the American hegemony".
nothing else
america is so fucking racist
Given broken windows policing + Kristallnacht + European walled garden rhetoric how more on the nose can this cartoon get
Such a 1910s-style window
This is accurate, a thin glass that appears a democracy, when broken revealing an Imperialist system.
Offering poor nations favorable trade agreements 
Replace democracy with US hegemony and now we're talkin
yea good ok
i wonder what mike ramirez's resting O~2~ saturation is
Lower than the average vo2 max I imagine
Someone should shove it in their face that they drew Sinwar covered in hostages whereas in truth he'd been fighting on the front lines.
The sheer fucking arrogance and hubris that after having a brutal financial hegemony over the world, others may come together to oppose you is considered this unheard of breach of order...America.doesmt have the divine right to rule the fucking world and it barely even has for less than a century. Get over yourselves. It was a house of cards from the fucking start you absolute rubes
yes, and i'll fucking do it again
Now that they're whinging about it I wonder how long it will take for the USA to do another coup on Brazil
not the democracy window!!!!!
Loser shit
