Zhao Gao was contemplating treason but was afraid the other officials would not heed his commands, so he decided to test them first. He brought a deer and presented it to the Second Emperor but called it a horse. The Second Emperor laughed and said, "Is the chancellor perhaps mistaken, calling a deer a horse?" Then the emperor questioned those around him. Some remained silent, while some, hoping to ingratiate themselves with Zhao Gao, said it was a horse, and others said it was a deer. Zhao Gao secretly arranged for all those who said it was a deer to be brought before the law and had them executed instantly. Thereafter the officials were all terrified of Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao gained military power as a result of that.
The Dredge Tank
The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.
This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.
The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.
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.
Remember to always bet against Reddit. They predicted Bernie winning, Ukraine crushing Russia, Hillary dominating Trump, and now this. They may have only been correct on Biden winning and even then I remember them being more torn on whether he could pull it off.
I really really don't care who wins but gotta say, it's a hard one to call. Mostly cause they're both really really bad at being appealing.
edit: also this absolute banger
You can brigade and down vote while in line to vote. I feel like people always assume the person they don't like online is putting way more effort into being online than they are when really it's just someone on their phone while pooping arguing with someone else who's on their phone while pooping.
I fucking hate people using "adult" as a verb just shuthefuckupshutthefuckupshutthefuckup
Me and the wifey did some heckin wholesome adulting and now we're going to have le epic sexytimes
America has NEVER and WILL NEVER be great
Nothing but death for America
disgusting
I don't want republicans to win but I need the democrats to lose
Reading this made me make the connection that the same group of people says both "A vote for a third party is a vote for Trump" and "I'm not voting for Harris, I'm voting against Trump". It sure seems like only direct Trump voters are the ones whose vote is what it says on the ballot (and the more dedicated Harris supporters who don't disavow her actions while supporting them).
"The campaign has been outstanding" what fucking world do you live in?
They're in the world where Biden "just has a stutter".
A lot of them believe this. They're deep in the echo chamber, those poor deluded bastards
On that last comment: who is we? You're not important to the Democrats. It's an exclusive club and you aren't in it. Unless you have millions to pour into their pockets, they dont care what you have to say and are not beholden to you in any way. The Democrats are a deeply undemocratic political party and don't care about you
This ridiculous fantasy, that the voters are somehow involved in political process, is childish. It shows how liberals treat politics as a team sport, and if their team is winning, their happy. Don't worry about material conditions, the blue people are in charge and they said something mean about Drumpf! God's in His Heaven, all is Right with the World
They're like Nintendo/Disney adults, but for politics. It's sad.
I cried when I voted for Hillary, and I cried waaayyyyy harder when I voted for Kamala.
Both times they were tears of joy to be voting for such qualified kick ass women, but this time there was definitely a lot of fear too.
I swear, "qualified" is a top tier lib shibboleth, a libboleth if you will.
This is how most of these "lesser of two evils" mfers actually feel.
tears of joy to be voting for such qualified kick ass women
My tears of joy are reserved for one particular pure energy woman when she kicks ass.
Only Hillary can save us /s
Only one person is pure light, energy itself.
[AM hate monologue]
I know it's not from ultrakill and i'm being a , but this feels like it should be from ultrakill
They’re gonna flip Texas lmao
Gonna circle back to that sub in about a week, sew how they're taking the news
That is some weapons-grade copium if I've ever seen it. I'm sure that this time next week we'll see some libs shitting their pants.
is that one comment calling Biden the "coach" of the Harris Campaign?
Worse, they're being parasocial about Walz
I'm pretty sure they're talking about Waltz.
I think they mean Walz, because he used to be a minor league coach or something when he worked as a teacher.
Thank you for this post. The Dredge Sommelier in me is savoring this.
Oh the cope runneth under the surface. They are spooked!
hopefully I get to see these people eat shit
