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

i-think-that I think that it's good to demand that a nation's leader is capable of basic recall, cognition, and speech.

What are you, a tankie?

If your disability actually impairs your ability to fulfill a responsibility, it's not ableist to say you shouldn't be given that responsibility.

It wouldn't be ableist of me to say a blind person should be made a bus driver.

Ukrainian flag. Opinion disregarded.

This is a very Twitter famous lib lol

Since when is y'all and nothing else AAVE? How do you think they addressed the crowd at Klan rallies?

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 30 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah this is Twitter brained, y'all is a part of many southern dialects it's not exclusively AAVE

[–] Yor@hexbear.net 21 points 4 months ago (1 children)

was also confused by that lol, any time I've travelled to the south that's just the norm

Apparently this lady is from Texas, so it's not an affectation

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

all behaviors from white texans are affectations. the boots, the hats, the drawls. they are a deceptive and false-hearted subspecies of biped attempting to pass as human through exaggerated mimicry.

they are not to be trusted.

Ableism is when knowing when to take the keys away from grandma.

I know this is a bit but holy shit imagining libs co opting Deleuze is hilarious. Would love to see some real schizo posting

[–] CupcakeOfSpice@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

Real schizo here, and as much as I like to believe someone on the schizophrenia spectrum can do anything, I don't think discarding rationality and reality are the best idea. I want to say someone with this condition could be president, but honestly unless they are in a very good state (well-medicated, good therapy, and possibly a bit of luck too) I don't think they would be best suited for that job. Which isn't to say there aren't ableism and sanism issues in our country, but I don't think that's what's happening here.

It's true, I'd be fine if it was a hip young Hitler advocating for genocide.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 4 months ago

Silly us not wanting the nuclear arsenal of the US under the control of another man who doesn't know what's going on around him or a massive con man.

Yeah the ones being critical of heads of state mental function are the problems...

Define 'enormously successful'.

Ask this motherfucker what they think about ABA for autistic children, since they're so concerned about ableism interviewer likely a funny answer
