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

Posting /r/neoliberal is cheating, they're all a bunch of liberals

[–] ThereRisesARedStar@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Can you rephrase that sentiment (which I agree with) without the -isms please?

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago

Edited but the sentiment is the same

think tank posters trying to hit their new slang quotas

But we're the shills on a government's payroll, huh. Yes. Clearly it's us, talking about piss, and not this person who may as well be working for a literal PR firm.

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And this is no easy conflict, this is a full blown quagmire.

WHERE IS HIS PEACE PRIZE????

They want to give him a peace prize for funding a fucking genocide. Liberals are unreal.

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wouldn't even be the first time. obama-drone

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's what the nobel peace prize is for

[–] Vncredleader@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

One of the first nominees was Tsar Nicholas, so it checks out

[–] privatized_sun@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

They were calling him genocide Joe last week.

I will never again call Biden anything, irrelevant old fucker lol

Extracting more hostages out of the hands of terrorists while minimizing concessions is truly NEXT LEVEL

extracting more oil, extracting more hostages, Papa John

lol, I find it hard to believe that's not an LLM, it hits all the beats. It's a masterclass! He's slaying! The US is back! Citations Needed could probably do a full episode on the language this user's comment history is filled with.

lol, I find it hard to believe that's not an LLM

The real magic of LLMs is not that they sound like people but that so many people already bang out their comments like vending machines.

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They don't know the carrier deterrent has failed, that America's bases have been pelted for weeks without a response, and that the resistance is escalating on its own terms. very-smart

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

I'm old enough to remember Baghdad Bob jokes that would fit perfectly here.

Not giving into all the reactionary ceasefire queens at the UN then watching them all literally do a complete 180° and now follow Biden's lead in calling for humanitarian pauses

but also

And now this: intervening to get a significant deal that includes a 4 day sustained ceasefire.

josephine the reactionary ceasefire queen?

[–] DrCrustacean@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean even just the first bullet point is contradictory. The "ceasefire queens" (gay, bad, etc.) were calling for a ceasefire but now they've done a 180 and are calling for a ~~ceasefire~~ humanitarian pause. I get that a major point of neoliberal messaging is training people to accept contradictory ideas to support the status quo, but they should at least try to go more than one paragraph without tying themselves in a knot

[–] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

You can't tie a knot in an overcooked noodle, and that's all these people have for brain matter

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago

Not giving into all the reactionary ceasefire queens at the UN then watching them all literally do a complete 180° and now follow Biden's lead in calling for humanitarian pauses is not only chefskiss but BDE.

Liberals think "reactionary" means "in reaction to a thing".

I checked the r/neoliberal redditor's history. it's like they are doing a bit.

In another thread - somebody asked for advice because they were having disagreements with their mother about taking vacation to Iceland together. The redditor's reply includes words like "rapprochement" which I guess makes sense if you look at your mother not a person who loves you but like a country that has no friends - only interests.

Disingenuously attending a vacation is part of the problem. You should be going on a vacation out of your own volition, because you want to. To do otherwise, under false and resentful pretenses, isn’t fair to you or to your mother, and is only exacerbating the problem at hand.

You should have fixed the problem and wiped the slate clean before you scheduled any vacation. Tiptoeing around real rapprochement and reckoning is only a temporary false band aid. You should be striving, especially with people close to you, to have authentic relationships. Even if this vacation miraculously makes you closer to your mother and fortifies the relationship, it has set an unhealthy precedent for dealing with conflicts in the future.

As far as evaluating your boundaries that’s kind of impossible for anyone judge without knowing the specific original problem, i.e., the reason for the boundaries in the first place.

It's a full blown quagmire, Joe

Not anymore biden-alert

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 12 points 11 months ago

imagine my horror when i clicked that and thought it was satire for a moment and realized you had the gall to link me to the neoliberal subreddit and it was serious

how fucking dare you

[–] CrimsonSage@hexbear.net 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Somehow killing 10000 innocent people is a big win... gotcha....

Also no one is switching to "humanitarian pause" because it's tome stroke of genius that they all now recognize. They ate calling for it because genocide Joe is obviously impervious to calls for basic human morality and decency so they are begging for something he might actually support.

The more I think about this the more I hate this person. The bolsheviks did nothing wrong if the people they gulaged were these moral cretins.

Somehow killing 10000 innocent

I’m sorry but Biden has been absolutely slaying the Israel Hamas conflict.

Yeah, they got you. The person said he absolutely slayed those innocents. Not just "killed" them. Get it right.
