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

obviously the comic is wildly cringe

nobody gonna mention the OP quotes Michael Jackson as their only addition to the post besides the title?

[–] KimJongGoku@hexbear.net 19 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

It also doesn't even seem to be a real quote? I did a quick search and nothing turned up, so it just looks like a bastardization of "All I want to say is that they don't really care about us" which, uh, is from a song about systemic racism and injustice in amerikkka.

Say what you will about Michael Jackson and it's not like the song is some radical manifesto or whatever, but turning lyrics critical of the US government into blaming the evil foreign adversary for anyone being critical of the US government is just the perfect cherry on top. joker-amerikkklap
