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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

Context: We now have three flavors of Menem (our Reagan) to choose from in October:

  • not-so-racist Menem (Massa),

  • very-racist-alcoholic-girlboss-Menem (Bullrich, yes, from the former slave-trading family),

  • and ultra-cocaine-racist Menem (ancap Milei)

Not-so-racist Menem is toast cuz he's been president the last two years, and people are really pissed at him.

So, the election is gonna be between ultra-racist alcoholic ghoul and the ultra-racist cocaine incel. Imagine an echo of Hillary vs Trump but with an openly racist Hillary.

And all the libs are doing the EXACT. SAME. THINGS.

Of course my favourite flavor of lib is the one who voted for Cambiemos (right wing party) and is now worried about Milei winning. I simply can't.

For example, yesterday the incel explained very clearly how he plans to close and close/"privatize" the CONICET, the organism funding science and research.

And this krakkker dipshit goes "we shouldn't protest with marches and stuff cuz we would only give them amunition, we need to start making tiktok videos!"

Quick question for clarification: was she a positive influence on him despite her being against the right to abortion? Like, if he was already against it was she pulling him towards positive things otherwise? Obviously bad to be taking an anti-abortion stance.

Uh, yes, she was way cooler than him.

Idk if she spoke French. Maybe that was a factor?

1950 USA had far better economic perspectives than any spanish- or english-speaking country. Plus she probably had a lot of cousins that chose the US instead of Argentina to migrate to (I'm assuming she was italian or irish)
