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

They're so eager to make everyone hate them.

Maybe an inappropriate comparison given that people are dying, but it's real "80s high school movie principal" behavior

Keep hammering the "terrorism" button for absolutely anyone you don't like, chuds. Wear it out. Wear it out good.

MFW Greta Thunberg is the most hated person in the 21st century because of her slightly unpopular political beliefs that the internet decided was "uncool", and not actual murderers or terrorists.

This species sucks.

It's a harmless octopus toy, even if not, she immediately took down that post for the explicit fear that it had the potential be interpreted as antisemitic. So this literally has to be a criticism in bad faith.

All I can think about is how if she was a hexbearer herself, she'd put up pictures of Ukrainian soldiers with the octopus toy plastered over their wolfsangels(spelling?) and sonnenrads (and sometimes swastikas) in response.

Twitter is just full of Nazis or liberals who don’t like the label but identifies with Nazism

These are the people freaking out when they see a paraglider above them, thinking Hamas is invading their hometown of Derby, Kansas

fun fact: this guy has posts where he stans blaire fucking white and has a neverending obsession with posting transphobia.

Besides being an obvious reach, the logic of this doesn't even make sense. If being anti-zionist is a dog whistle for antisemitism, why would she add another coded message?

I mean this is a blue-check making the accusation, but god damn is this frustrating.

Literal nazis getting saluted by politicians, but a blue octopus plush toy is the giveaway? I hate that fascists have managed to muddy the water so much

Israel are really really REALLY fucking shit at propaganda.

Honestly if there's one thing this demonstrates it's that the ukronazis being terminally online fuckbois really played out in their favour because they were fucking really good at propaganda. The difference is massive.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

Ukraine has some fucking insane propaganda, especially since Russian policy is far less happy about SIGINT leakage.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

Hmmmmmmm. I bet some of those people murdered by Israeli missiles could have also been my friends. You know, the ones butchered by Israel after they called Palestinians "animals"?

"Your ideology is morally superior to mine! STOP JUDGING ME, THAT'S NOT A HECKIN' WHOLESOME FREEDOMERINO, HITLER!"

CHUDs literally sound like their own strawmen of liberals.

Im german. I had tons of education about nazi germany. But hell I never ever would have connected that to octopuses. Why? And it really doesn’t seem like anything from that time. And given it actually is: It was a huge country with a lot of fucking Nazis. And there’s a pretty good chance someone once drew a fucking monster made out of marching band stuff, bombs and A fucking birdcage once.

As we all know, autistic people don't have a deep fascination with cepholapods and never say "they are the superior lifeform on earth". The octopus is feared and hated by zoomers!

I literally have one of those except it's happy gray and mad black. It's just a cute toy. The fucking mental gymnastics here are insane.
