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

They should just straight go to inventing some sort of secret passphrase to recognize each other

"I'm a fan of a guy that's all about judging so-called 'inferiors', and sometimes people resent my superiority complex. How can this be happening to me?"

There was a post on the Jordan Peterson Reddit in which a guy complains about his date was going so well until he mentioned Jordan Peterson and suggested that she read his books lol. I can’t recall if she was “rude” about it, but regardless he resorted to the “fuck this dumb bitch” routine in the comments. If not even his daughter buys the crap he sells outside of “woke bad”, why would any other woman?

Jordan Peterson's daughter is the Chaos Dragon personified.

You should be in jail for not posting a link to the article

I didn't want to give them clicks, or make my FB feed full of Tory content, so I just made a screenshot. It was easy to find, on Google.

For future reference, when you submit a link through the website there are options to automatically generate an archived version of the link (using e.g. The Wayback Machine or archive.today) to avoid that problem

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago

Just use archive.ph or archive.is or archive.org?

I like to tell people that this is Biden's son, Hunter.

Hunter Biden is just Jordan Peterson on an all-pussy diet.

Generally I don‘t like when people say „I am a fan of this person“ which for me always implies the whole person and everything they stand for and also say in the future. Why not be more specific? I like Jordan Peterson‘s shirt is totally reasonable if he wears a nice shirt. Same might go for some of his arguments at some point in time (I don‘t know much of the guy). But why give unconditional approval?

because that's the only way westoids have been taught

there is only good and evil, black and white, eternal and temporal.. nuance and criticality are not real

Since you've brought Japanese into this, I'd like to share the fun fact that 冗談, the Japanese word for joke, has the same spelling as his name if you write it in katakana (ジョウダン). The Japanese language proves that Jordan Peterson is a joke.
