the_dunk_tank
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

Borrowing from someone else:
Libs in 2017: We need to fight back this widely prevalent fascism. Punch every fascist you see!
Libs in 2023: Actually, being the Waffen SS doesn't necessarily make someone a fascist.
I cannot fucking believe we have actually arrived at "not all waffen ss men".
Jesus fucking christ this is a nightmare.
They moved from ironic Anarcho-NATOism to openly supporting NATO to running defence for literal Nazis so fast that I'm pretty sure they have all aged less than the rest of us due to experiencing time dilation.
Anarcho-Bidenism was kind of framed as irony but they always actually meant it.
Like, it was ironic. It was. But the irony was the anarcho part all along.
They weren’t ironically supporting Biden and NATO, they really were doing that and they were smirking at how they were calling themselves anarchists while supporting Biden and NATO because even those fucking morons realized how incompatible those positions are.
But somehow in this 4chan style post post post modernism that online millennials and zoomers have created all that mattered to them was that the irony was there. They didn’t probe what the irony was, somehow they’re just content with the irony being there. That’s where the thought process terminates.
Someone tell me a German philosopher who can help me understand this phenomenon?
I don’t fucking get it. I can see what it is but I don’t fucking get it.
If a bit falls flat in the forum, and no-one is around to downbear, is it still a joke?
