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

Only conclusion: the woman aspires to be a court jester
I think there should be a king,
but also I should be able to call the king a ***** without getting sued for libel
Monarchist
Oh so literally the worst type of person
To be fair they have the good sense to know someone should be in charge of them. Like, you told them they can have a voice in politics and their immediate reaction is that they are not qualified to have any input in how things are run. So I gotta respect the self actualization there.
There's quite a few monarchist dipshits that fancy themselves the Sigma Male viziers to the monarch. 
they don't even have an incisive enough view of the world or clever enough wit to be an effective court jester
Most modern day pro-monarchists are just fascists tbh
So are most liberals but at least monarchies are whimsical. At it's face the proposition that the most inbred Germany family will make better choices than congress is not an absurd claim.
That's funny because the only people I ever saw bemoaning the loss of Iranian bikini girls were the libs getting mad over the Ayatollah
Real Look at what they took from us!
hours
cw: SA, normal ameritroop shit

Hey, do you mind telling me what these screenshots are from? Based purely on the vibes of 5 stills from some (I assume) movie/TV show, I now want to watch it. Unless it's super extra terrible, but even so I might still enjoy it. So please, UlyssesT, tell me what ridiculous slop you took these images from so that I can watch it!
Thanks!
They're from the music video for the song "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Thanks! I will watch it!
Let me know what you think. It was a cultural marker for its time: boomers were getting inarguably old, were trying to keep younger people out of power, and suburban blight was at its peak.
Well. First of all, it was great and dense, I'm going to need to watch it a few times to understand it.
Second of all, it was creepy as shit. Is it supposed to be scarier than some scary movies I've seen? Maybe it's just that the things it's meditating on (suburbia and ennui, I think, I bet there's more) are terrifying to me.
All in all, great song, great music video, I'm going to watch it a few more times before I have a real take on it.
The band claimed that it "didn't mean anything" but I still think there was some subtext there, perhaps even subconsciously, that speaks of the (very real, and I lived it) ennui and malaise of white affluent culture in the 90s.

Haha, that's some hilarious bullshit! No one makes meaningless art, come on now! Well, good for them that they made art during "the end of history", when you could pretend you were making "meaningless" art. Fucking idiots.
But yeah, I'm a little too young to have experienced the ennui of the 90's, sounds like a whole ass situation. (Although, in some ways, tbqh, living a materially comfortable life where your biggest worry is fucking ennui doesn't sound so bad. I wish I could rent an apartment to be sad in for a reasonable amount of money, you know?)
Still, the music video was terrifying, so obviously it's not all fun and games, even if you can afford your basic necessities
I think the ennui of the 90s, where it seemed a better world was no longer possible and a "long now" was all that was visible on the horizon did break some brains. That feeling of emptiness and boredom encouraged nihilism, selfishness, and a sense that not caring about things wasn't just a default, but was cool. It became a thing where caring about anything was considered uncool and some took that well into the next century.
I don't know what ultimately happened to Soundgarden, but a lot of Gen-X bands got really reactionary as years went on, such as Green Day being the one band of any note to sign on to so-called "MetalGate" (an attempt to bring 
gate to the metal fandom, fortunately unsuccessfully) and almost every personality featured on MTV back then (imagine "influencers" before social networks really existed) aged into a full blown GOP lackey or even a NewsMax propagandist.
Does anybody have a good article link or post on here discussing the whole “photos of Afghan or Iranian women in the 70s” posts?
I googled and scanned articles for ~5 minutes but I got nowhere. In other news - google now actively blocks me from getting what I want.
- Iranian women in the 1970s meme blog
- Iranian women in the 1970s meme blogger
- Iranian women in the 1970s meme wordpress
.
I only got one top blog result from all of that - and it was shit.
Thanks for the effort comrade.
Well, he did the hard work. I just put the cherry on top with regex and then some tweaking by hand.
Going to post some swedish girls in bikinis and be like, ‘damn, this was Lebanon before Hezbollah’
"e-jihadists"
