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

I bless you all with this comment:

Pros: Best foreign policy president of my lifetime. Best jobs president of my lifetime. Most progressive president since FDR. Understands humanity and the plight of both Israelis and Palestinians. Gets high marks on the economy from anybody with a tiny bit of macroeconomic literacy.

Cons: three years older than opponent.

Result: Clap, you stupid bastards.

Much as I hate chuds, there's something about the smug, pretentious, condescending, obnoxious tone and content that these bourgeois liberals all seem to have that makes me understand why a bunch of white working class people just get driven into the arms of cultural nationalists like the Republicans who refuse to abide by the same absurd language and standards. Like my instinctive repulsion and contempt is stronger in a way when I see a pretentious lib talk than a ridiculous Republican. The latter I still fear and would like to see merked in minecraft, but there's something more especially intuitively infuriating about liberals.

They take so long to say nothing, and they take such pride in it. They talk like they're about to blow your mind, but then 5 confusing and aggravating minutes later you realize that you're just hearing a baroque retelling of the same two cows, civic religion horseshit we were all taught as children, and you kind of get mad at yourself for thinking that maybe this time they would have something insightful to say.

Everything they say feels masturbatory, thats's the word I wanted
