The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

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.

"Liberal Democracy Index" sounds like something one of us on Hexbear would make up as a bit

[–] [email protected] 38 points 8 months ago

Liberal

Democracy

Pick one

It's so true that when I saw it I thought I was looking at a bit. This is right up there with the economic freedom index.

Dude, I was so confused reading this. I couldn't believe it wasn't a bit.

There are a lot of stupid thing you learn about while pursuing a PolySci degree, these types of 'democracy indexes' are among the stupidest.

Democracy is when people aren't allowed to keep the party they want in power

[–] [email protected] 54 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Bro! Bro! Have you considered how evil it is when people like their President? smuglord

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

Not democracy. That's a cult of personality. Democracy is when 7 candidates with slightly different paint jobs halfheartedly run on issues they won't do anything about.

This poster has singlehandedly raised Mexico's stupid fucking loser index by 15 points.

Due to flagrant disrespect toward institutions and general lack of decency in this thread, I have decided to lower Hexbear's liberal democracy index by 0.2 points. Consider this a warning.

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

I drew you as the declining line smuglord

[–] [email protected] 31 points 8 months ago

Makes a surprisingly good argument for how term limits are anti-democratic

[–] [email protected] 30 points 8 months ago

I want to beat this person with a hammer.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 8 months ago

See this line I drew going down? that's you!

Noo, my retirement is all in the liberal democracy index fund

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago

Should've put it into badcountrycoin, it's going to the moooooon.

I guess we'll just never know what the Caucasus nations scores are, never mind the Levant (Israel, Lebanon, Syria. And Jordan) [I learned a new term today!]

Liberal Democracy Index fell to under the best PRI level which is considered a classic example of enduring semi-authoritarianism!

zizek PURE IDEOLOGY

I’m surprised he didn’t mention AMLO’s very close relationship with Sheinbaum as a way they’re deliberately subverting the rules or some other deranged shit lol. I’m curious if there’s a single quantifiable metric behind the “liberal democracy index”, this really just reads like a badposting bit

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

This post doesn't bode well for this guys dipshit index

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago

All my Freedom Burger Points, gone!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

I know a guy who's got some democracy index points that fell off the back of the truck if anyone wants a few

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

The Liberal Democracy Index is no joke. Everyone knows its directly proportional to the Burger Index and inversely proportional to the Bad Country Index

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago
[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

Sheinbaum is gone. Thank you Mexico's no-reelection rule. No president has lowered Mexico's liberal democracy index more than Sheinbaum other than her predecessor, AMLO...

03 Oct 2029 (or something idk I'm not checking the dates for this shitpost)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Based AMLO And if the liberal democracy line everywhere has to drop to zero to save the environment, so be it.

Indexes and Graphs are the shadows on the wall of our modern cave.
