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

"The people who want to put republicans up against a wall are actually most closely aligned with republicans, because both groups dislike me personally, which means they're the same." Just terminal "with me or against me" brain. Everything that isn't a smug liberal is a secret fascist ๐Ÿ“ฝ

Go get yourself blocked. All I had to do was ask. And now I can say anything without them whining about it.

They want to replace our beautiful, faultless institutions. Who could distrust our institution? Don't they know how good they are? :(

And they worshipped the institutions saying unto them, "who is like our institutions, who can make war with them?!" The Book of Lib 5: 38

Plugging your ears and shouting "lalalala I can't hear you" when presented with the fact that electoralism (and specifically the American variety) has flaws and maybe the government should do some governing because you were told the system works as a kid and you saw Hamilton once.

Obviously results don't matter, a million dead kids is a sacrifice they're willing to make. Doing It The Right Way โ„ข to adhere to the vision of some long dead slave owners is more important than improving the lives that exist today.

democrats shouldn't "become authoritarians," they're already authoritarians. They have massive party discipline. Manchin "spoiling" that vote was what the party bosses wanted and could have predicted anyway. They just put on a performance that they wanted the opposite because they conceal their aims, which is to please their donors, and also please themselves, since most of them hold stock in the same private interests that their donors do. democrats and republicans should both be liquidated as they are the bipartisan wings of the bourgeois class dictatorship. They should be removed from authority and replaced with a proletarian class dictatorship. Why? because the alternatives to seizing power are utopian wishful thinking. You aren't going to reform your way out of this.

A little math here...if Democrats aren't acting like Republicans then how do we keep getting so many Republicans in power? Like how is not acting like Republicans working out for Democrats? Obamacare has been torn apart. There's no action on climate change other than lessening the amount of permits to drill. We're not safer than ever from the worst Republicans. The worst person in the world was just President before Biden. So what gives? How does not keeping the party in line help us? What are we preserving if Trump can be President? Okay our anti-authoritarianism is intact. But we keep getting authoritarians...

You ever just think about stuff like that? Put the things you think on trial and see how they worked out in actual history? You ever go outside and look around and try to apply what you think to the real world?

other than lessening the amount of permits to drill

Last I checked Biden was rubberstamping all the trump-moist regime permits and adding some more.
