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 entirety of what they know about how other humans behave comes from Brandon Sanderson books

Never read him, so i don't get what his writing of people is like. But I'm also glad i don't lol.

One thing I'm glad to be ignorant of

He’s a hero to redditors because he releases 50 books a year and writes almost exclusively for the bazinga demographic, so his dialogue is, predictably, complete shit based on what I’ve read

tactics are formulated

more like tactics are recycled from amerikan imperialist conflicts of the past few decades that suppose air superiority and a massive materiel superiority

these people just chug state department propaganda without a single critical thought. reality doesn’t bend to their will, thankfully. this conflict will further signal the decay of empire. and hopefully deplete NATO weapon stockpiles enough to allow for a less bloody transition from NATO hegemony to BRICS hegemony

they've started talking like national defense john wayne the past couple years. The libs are so hyped to have a war to cheer for.

Please ignore the fact that Elon Musk is a crucial factor in the Ukrainian counter offensive and has defense officials calling him to beg him not to turn off starlink.

This reads like picking the fascist dialogue in Disco Elysium and getting chills.

That second image may have caused some slight brain damage for me to read.

Seems like some sort of professionalism fetishist. They would be a LARPer except LARPing isn't professional.

Libs that dream of being a lanyard at the State Department

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

and those folks ain't talking

except when they're talking to journalists, being referenced as anonymous sources, to explain that akshully the ukrainians aren't winning the war because they can't understand our beautiful caucasian tactics

Both types have internalised the west wing, these guys just got more excited by the situation room

Can't find a Leslie Nielson emote. We should have one for moments such as these

are we allowed to ping people on other instances? probably not right? I want to ask this rapidcreek person how hard they were breathing while they typed this

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

Last i checked he's still arguing with our heroic posters on that thread, so you can probably catch him

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm going to assume that other instances have a 'no asking our chuds if they are masturbating while they post' policy
