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

try criticizing nathan j robinson here and you'll likely get a little taste of the kneejerk defense of a parasocial friend

There were false accusations against him wrt union busting, but that doesn't make him not a piece of shit for other reasons

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 17 points 9 months ago

Yeah, he sucked before the "union" flap, he still sucks. He's got a classic western chauvinist view of AES and foreign policy

Who's Nathan j Robinson and why do people here like him? I've literally never heard of him

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 20 points 9 months ago (2 children)

socdem writer who dresses like he's trying to beat indiana jones to the ark of the covenant

[–] GarfGirl@hexbear.net 17 points 9 months ago

Oh right, yeah I looked him up and I think I recognise him

when I see his picture I imagine him saying "ah, Dr. Jones"

[–] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Really? cuz I don't think I've ever personally seen anyone stan him.

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 15 points 9 months ago (2 children)

There was a recent minor struggle session running into hundreds of comments about him and there were some very fervent defenders

[–] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 20 points 9 months ago

Guess I was touching grass that day shrug-outta-hecks

I didn’t see that one but I feel like that has to be transplants from the fediverse. I remember in 2022 or so he came up and most people were dunking on him. Idk he’s one of those people I notice people cyclic getting softer on during election years so who knows

I don't want to sully your pure mind-palace if you don't already know about NJR, go forth in the world unburdened by the knowledge of yet another chauvinist cracker
