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 LGBTQ people

Because LGBTQ people just appeared out of nowhere, willed into corporeal existence one day in the mid-80's by the manifestation of the Woke Mind Virus, and totally haven't existed in every civilization at any given time throughout the entirety of human history.

Really cool how they just casually suggest genocide like this.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 10 months ago

and suddenly i'm the asshole if I even suggest any sort of retaliatory violence.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago (2 children)

it's pretty easy to deflate this rhetoric if you know how to press their buttons;

"Do you want your daughter to marry a guy struggling with the urge to kiss men?"

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean, whatever, at this level of homophobia they clearly want to exterminate anyone who isn't a cishet Christian. "Pushing their buttons" is just a shortcut to get them angry enough to admit it.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago

Well, yeah. If you can get them to say that, it's the fastest way to discredit them to anyone listening/lurking.

Clearly it's because of the chemicals in the water that turn the frogs gay.

The Spartans were just really good friends, and Greeks never enjoyed the company of anyone but rhe person they married

How do I rebel? By mirroring the exact positions of a 90 year-old who has never left their hometown, except I also throw in the environment because I have to live with the consequences of their positions and they have those positions because they don't have to.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They don't care about the environment, they just want to live on a farmhouse where migrant workers do their farming for them.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (8 children)

At least in Colorado it just means they want animals to hunt. But they also want to privitise all the land, use it for ranching, defund state efforts to protect natural areas, and expand fracking. They don't hike and they don't believe climate change exists despite it rapidly endangering those alpine animals.

It's the same kind of demonic fuck-fuck game they play with terms like "save the children" or "family values".

edit: Actually, I'm part of a ranger org with some 300~ members. Most of them are boomers and I've spoken with dozens of them. Not a single one has been a right-winger. They try to co-opt conservationism for their ranching and hunting, but even the most basic work of stewardship is so far beyond their capacity.

Pro-environment

Is that what you call it when you pollute rivers so badly they catch fire?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Pro-environment to them means forcefully depopulating the planet (guess which groups) until the wasteful lifestyles of current imperial core humans is within the earth's carrying capacity.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

They might actually be serious. There have been a few right-wing dictators that were completely genocidal but put in legitimate efforts for environmental conservation. Trujillo in particular comes to mind.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Being Pro-environment and Pro-God to these people means praying to God to fix the environment and if nothing happens, then that's just how he wants things to be.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

Why yes, I love Exxon mobil, why do you ask?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Right wing 'environmentalism' is definitely a thing. Like taking indigenous land and calling it "national parks."

Reactionaries wanting to "retvrn" to the "tradition" of the nuclear family... Bro you worship capital, not god

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Seriously, even monogamy is a societal construct

These stupid fucks wouldn't know tradition if it bit them in the dick

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Reactionaries draw a line in history where they want to return to and call that "tradition". For Americans, it's laughably recent. Japanese fascists at least want to go back to before the nuclear family, but their call to "retvrn" is similarly unserious and is reminiscent of the "Greek"-obsessed statue guys. Ignore all the homosexuality, ignore the paganism, ignore the female emperors... We totally want to retvrn guys it's just that 99% of the past did it wrong, too so we gotta correct that. 🙄

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Yeah, they're usually just kind of insinuating their desired order is traditional, papering over any information to the contrary. Weaponized "theme park" history.

We must bring Posadism back to America:

  • More nuclear wars
  • More dolphin communication
  • More alien interference in human affairs

I like how nothing they advocate actually does anything concrete to create the world they want, it just abuses people. Literally "the beatings will continue until morale improves" shit.

The person runnig this is a divorced 62 yo with SO MANY Gb of illegal porn

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago

A lot of these things are very recent in terms of history unlike porn and lgtbq which has existed since the beginning which is infact very traditional.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The funny thing about the yankee empire is that we don't have a general concept of the empire. So, unlike say the brits' empire where people and the press might talk about what to do in this or that colonial holding, the core here largely only talks about local stuff. It's a weird kinda irony; the most extensive empire in global history is also the most parochial.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

I mean, this is just stupid reactionary christian stuff. What's really interesting is that this stupid reactionary christian stuff isn't made different for coming from the core's core of empire. You find identical stuff coming from out of the way countries with little influence over anything. Poland, for example.

No divorce (except for adultery and abuse)

Famous non-adulterer, Donald Trump.

"No divorce besides adultery and abuse" and yet they support trump, who has been divorced for neither of those reasons

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

who has been divorced for neither of those reasons

And has committed adultery numerous times himself. Truly a bastion of Christian morality.

This is pretty much the blueprint for how to be Guatemala minus the "no porn" and "Pro-environment." The nationalists have been saying that this is our decade and it looks like that's the case with Ukraine and Argentina doing their best to be like us.

No Porn

I doubt this bozo would ever let an independent investigator check their browser history and hidden files to verify non-deletion publicly. Because we know what we would find.
