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

Remember when college was about learning in an intentional community built around growth rather than doing a literal genocide?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 10 months ago

^this

The chuds cheering this shit probably complain out the other side of their mouth about college not being about learning anymore (for the wrong reasons, not the whole reproduction of the managerial class aspect)

Doing a great job dispelling the stereotype that Jews are funny

Being a reactionary cancels it out.

You can still sex, drugs, rock n roll and pizza in college and support Palestine, actually it's a prerequisite.

oh I wish it was, but there's just as many jet-ski store owners' kids in college now as ever.

"Don't be politically active, just wallow in hedonism" is... A take.

I don’t think we should be taking our cues for what is and isn’t offensive from people who have total meltdowns at the sight of a “Free Parking” sign

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Context? I’m assuming they saw the front part and mentally filled in the rest as Palestine?

SMH, the columnist class and its consequences.

Had no clue Gorbachev… walls started it. Fun piece of lore.

I've seen a few of their other posters and they're all dumb cringe like these two.

I HATE COLLEGE DISCOURSE

FIFTY PERCENT OF ALL POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS ARE FOCUSING ON WHATEVER THE CHUCKLE FUCKS IN THE IVY LEAGUES ARE DOING AND WHETHER OR NOT THE HARVARD PREZ DID A PLAGIARISM

NOBODY CAN AFFORD HOUSING, FOOD, TRANSPORT OR MEDICAL CARE AHHHHHH

torment torment torment

fr if you're in college and on here I love you like a comrade, but the weird 30-something chuds that obsess about hyper local college happenings get outsized media attention and it's frustrating. Holidays especially because all the chuds in my family get together to talk about nothing but the college campus politics at a school they've never attended in a state they've never visited like it has any impact on their daily life.

My uncle works for Boeing and thinks minorities are stealing his promotions. I have to see this man every holiday. I want to kill myself legitimately every time I speak to him. He wants me to take an internship at Boeing. If I have to see this man every day for an entire summer it might actually be over for me. He's also transphobic, obviously

Remember when college was about drugs, late night pizza, and sex ~~instead of~~ as well as calling for intifada?

Yeah..... College was awesome... Care-Comrade

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

That first poster has a pretty real point to make. American Pie was the entire view of college stereotypes for an entire generation.

Shit is wildly different now, in a good way.

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

proud to be ruining bucolic memories of carnal delight for zionists by existing. college is about crying in front of faculty, going off about atrocities at the drop of a hat, and showing off how much liquor you can drink til you forget your mother tongue.

Wait so my teachers all said I'm not really built for college were just trying to say i don't fuck?

Drugs sex and pizza are majors? Would I have had to take on a larger than normal workload to take all three?

No. As far as I'm aware, higher education was never about that. These fuckers watch some shitty American film about horny students and build their entire worldview around that?

If you wanna get laid, go clubbing or hit up tinder or some shit, it'll work out cheaper in both the short and long term.
