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

Most prosperous and free country. Which will come to the surpise of the slaves and indigenous population. Or whatever that cunk on earth quote is.

"With its cowboys and guns and steam train rides, America became known as the land of the free, which must have come as a surprise to all the slaves."

Shortly followed by this banger: "The North asked the South what kind of America it wanted to live in: one where white people leeched off other races while treating them as inferior, or one where they pretended they didn't."

Thank you I was looking everywhere for it!

Governnents and the powerfull, they want slavery. They need constant pressure to not give into their instincts.Sadly, making all those that genuinely wanted freedom fight and tricked into thinking the fight was over, suckers. Slavery still exists, in fact its as bad as ever was, just not with its usual symptoms.

Well, :australiaburning: so there's a good chance they don't care much about indigenous people.

I do like being able to say any dumbass shit without getting libeled though.

prosperous and free for the white labor aristocrat and petit bourgeois and haute bourgeois suburbanites and McMansion enjoyers working desk jobs at MIC corporations, that's all that matters. Everyone else is invisible to them.

Meanwhile this guy thinks lemmy.world is a tankie instance.

That deserves it's own drunk tank post

I mean feddit has been absolutely wild these past couple of days, I could fill this entire comm with the shit from over there. But its just so bleak the way people regurgitate the "not the time to criticise Israel", "the IDF may be no boyscouts but the Hamas has been killing babies!" with worse and worse variations.

Gödel, the guy who famously proved that the foundations of mathematics is flawed, also pointed out Gödel's Loophole in the US constitution when he was naturalizing as a US citizen which allows the US to legally turn into a fascist dictatorship.

Also good point to point out that the US constitution is the second attempt at writing down government, after the failed Articles of Confederation.

It's not really that it is flawed, but that any formal system is going to have blindspots. I think the commonality here is that our boy just loved analyzing formal systems and thinking of corner cases and exploitable features.

Joke on him, they didn't even had to amend anything.

Thank you! It's great to hear some sanity

Liberals discuss dissenters without implying dissenters are mentally ill (and that mentally ill people are fundamentally bad and need to be silent) challenge. Difficulty level: "WHO HURT YOU?" smuglord

It's Japanese for big brother. I advise against searching it without SafeSearch on

4channers export only the pedophile horse shit. genuine stuff exists. Its not flashy nor nesisarally sexual.

rantThey benifit if "big brother" is a sexual phrase rather than one you use to communicate the mundane. Im saying, break their toys. If you dont, thy will try to make stuff like milk a racist construct.

I don't think coopting oniichan from 4channers is a good use of anyone's time

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Specifically, a younger person calling or referring to someone as their older brother. Make of that what you will.

No, I will not read a wall of text from a username that references pedophilia and incest

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

How badly did we fuck our culture to make another language's word for "older brother"/"big brother" a dirty one. Problem, japan's petophiles fucked the word for themselves.
