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

-Thinks Erdogan is the president of Israel.

With takes this dumb, I sometimes suspect these talking heads are doing a "Nigerian Princess phone scam" thing. They're intentionally saying dumb shit to filter their fan bases of people who may be smart enough to eventually catch onto the grift, to make sure they surrounded by total sycophants.

is he the dipshit that did a mock lawyer exam thing on stream to "prove" he was smart after getting owned in a silly internet debate?

[–] [email protected] 62 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

yes he also debated someone from Vietnam about the Vietnam war and his final ''thought'' was that the strongs deserve to pound the weaks

[–] [email protected] 62 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Good thing the strong won that one

His point was that the Vietnamese casualties are justified because they are weak

[–] [email protected] 36 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So Destiny thinks the 58K American soldiers that died in the Vietnam War were weak?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago

Nonsense. They would have won if they hadn't been stabbed in the back by the fifth columnist lefties.

All debate streamers should be sent to gulag unironically

[–] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago

He seems to be a social outcast in the streamer community and his audience must be incels and boomers. Just thinking what makes a person such a total piece of shit.

Wait can he seriously not find Israel on a map? Like even if you don't know where it is maps usually portray disputed borders lmao. Like look for a country with multiple internal regions demarked by dotted lines??

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm never sure how precise the "Can you find this country on the map?" game is expecting you to be. Like, if you point at Lebanon by mistake, is that disqualifying? Or are people just giving up and saying "Idk"? Are they pointing to Latvia and getting confused?

But if you handed me a world map, I doubt I'd be able to pick out Israel as "a country with multiple internal regions" because the resolution probably isn't going to give me that info.

Honestly I've always wanted somebody to spring one of those "find a country" tests on me. I'm quite good a geography, I may not be a 100% correct but if you asked me where Botswana was I'd know it's just north of South Africa.

I think it would be funny if the guy who did the best on the geography test was also a massive commie.

Edit: also fyi there are online geography tests where you can to guess the location of a place and it measures how close you go in kilometers so the farther off you got the worse your score is. So if you picked Lebanon when asked where Israel is you'd still score okay.

They love complex views on topics where they're clearly wrong, but god forbid they take a complex look at pacifism, capitalism or socialist states, 'tankies' are just obviously wrong in every way (trust me bro).

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Honestly I wish Tankies turned out to be wrong more often. The world would be a better place if we couldn't consistently predict the actions of the Empire by forecasting the worst possible action and outcome as fact.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

The situation is very complex ok, if you commies could actually read and do some research you'd realise that our crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing campaigns are very justified actually.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

The absolute audacity of the side that literally portrays their opponents as satanic cartoon Disney villains talking about complexity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

more complex discourse

These fucking jerkoffs. jagoff
