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

"World news" has always just been "4th reich news" and they ban anyone who points that out. Kind of fucked up to think that this is the main way hundreds of thousands of people, possibly millions, get their news. Hand fed racism directly from the US state department.

Nobody:

This guy: Does anybody else think Muslims are basically a race of rabid dogs?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago

And then when you point out whites have a history of savagery. Suddenly that violent aggression becomes classy. Every fucking time.

frothingfash: Muh 13/50, every last Muslim is a terrorist with no exception! Better genocide them all...just to be safe, of course."

gigachad: "Interesting....well white people have been 'The Terrorists' for centuries. Look at the nazis and all of colonialism. They attacked peaceful civilizations just minding their own business."

frothingfash: "Hey! I can't control my glorious aryan warrior spirit! And most importantly I won, and that proves I'm better than you at everything."

White people combine the savagery of orcs with the snobbery of elves, it's amazing.

I remember having a pretty long debate about how the framing of pitbulls as "naturally aggressive" animals had its roots in prenology and race science, then for a while thought I might have over estimated on that, but it's good to be proven right sometimes

[–] [email protected] 57 points 8 months ago (4 children)

One thing I notice with the anti-pitbull people is that they always go out of their way to emphasise that a certain sort of person (US foreign policy ) owns pitbulls more than any other.

And when you see the rhetoric they use about pitbulls, you start to notice they also love to imply that the pitbull's owners are the same "seconds away from savagely attacking the people around them at all times."

[–] [email protected] 36 points 8 months ago

It's like those pictures of people that look like their dogs, but instead of being cute it's meant to be violently racist.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 8 months ago (1 children)

seconds away from savagely attacking the people around them at all times

Sounds like the international community bombing innocent people around the world

[–] [email protected] 26 points 8 months ago

Acktually sweaty, they only bomb those people because they are so dangerous? It all makes sense when you look at the chart. US foreign policy

Honestly I'm more freaked out when I see a 5'2" white woman being dragged along by a 150lbs tube of dog muscle that I assume she got cuz she's paranoid about home invasion than when I see a black or Hispanic person with one. The later group generally seems to actually train their massive fuck off dogs.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago

"Are we... still talking about beer?" except instead of beer it's dogs

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Strange that a strong dog breed that a lot of people get to protect their homes and train to be mean and attack people end up attacking so many people.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Are you actually arguing against the objectively correct immortal science of dog phrenology? I'll have you know that I have used my calipers to analyze the head shapes of dozens of pitbulls and every single one of them has attacked me, what does that tell you?!?!

redditors: compare Islam to dog breeds
Also redditors: I can't be racist, because Islam is a religion not a race. smuglord

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago

Just hit them with: "Islam doesn't kill people. People kill people! Do you REALLY think ideas kill people?"

If they say yes, then ask them why they vehemently defend nazism and white supremacy, ideas that have cost many lives.

If they say no, then ask them why they want to exterminate every last Muslim? That's guilt by association.

I once saw a White girl at the grocery store with a shirt that said "Racism is the Pits" with the face of a pitbull. I had to look it up and, yup, sure enough she was wearing a shirt that raised awareness of pitbull discrimination by drawing an analogy to what people of color face through racism. Just chalked it up to a well-meaning, racist lib trying to posture as anti-racist animal lover.

I guess this person is the opposite of that.

Not sure which is worse.

Pitbull haters are reactionary confirmed

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago

I mean yeah. I can't prove it but I've always thought the fixation on pitbulls being super-dangerous murder machines had more to do with the perceieved connection of pittbulls to black people, at least in the us. People will argue up and down about it.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago

It depends. There's a lot of hate for them in my country because they're vicious street dogs and have been known to kill old people and children. An indigenous group recently hunted one down after it mauled a child in their community.

Hate from more developed countries tend to come from people who see clips go viral online and immediately make blanket statements.

One day, we will stop comparing human races to dog breeds.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Does this mean I have to stop comparing the Baltic countries to Chihuahuas?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago

Insult to chihuahuas tbh

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Your wish is granted: people now compare dog breeds to human races

Anyone that equates dog breed to human races from any perspective is just a piece of shit human. End of story.

Then you have everything happening in the world today and the state of Muslim countries.

Wonder what’s happening in the Muslim world that’s gotten everyone talking about it.

There are 2 morally permissable types of genocide: gmer genocide and rdditor genocide

The biggest argument against anonymity on the internet is I can't punch any of these racist nerds in the face

[–] [email protected] 34 points 8 months ago

dae think redditors are like dogs (they stop yapping if you hold their heads under water for some time)

[–] [email protected] 34 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Given the genocide, rampant bombing and mass murder majority-white (and almost exclusively white-governed) countries regularly engage in against other countries us-foreign-policy , linking the tendency to violence with skin colour is not the kind of argument a racist wants to be starting.

Just comparing Muslims to dogs ya know just doing a little dog phrenology man like I'm just being tongue in cheek dude

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

When you're losing an argument, anything along the lines of bragging about successfully trolling the other party is the closest one will ever get to admitting defeat.

Redditors think anyone who isn't a white Christian is a subhuman. Classic reddit-logo fascist behavior

Comparing people from the middle east to dogs is a huge insult in many middle eastern cultures, similar to WWII Nazis comparing Jews to vermin.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

This is emblematic of the problem faced by people who go "purely by the stats." They say some dumb shit and think everybody's being unreasonable. Then suddenly nobody listens to them and they're like "this world is so fucked because people like me can't get ahead, it's literally idiocracy." Then they start crying because they're overwhelmed and think it's out of their control because numbers don't lie but it is in their control to stop being so insufferable and open up to the idea that humanities can be... le good!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

Dude! Bro! What are you doing?? Shut up! You're supposed to use the pit bull hate instead of the racism, you're gonna blow the whole thing open!

Okay, Andrew Tate is a Muslim. He's also pretty much everything Nazis hate, he's a Hamas that's all about sleeping around with women (sex outside marriage). Will you genocide him too? Will you genocide the internet's favorite gigolo?
