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

Same energy as the "outlaw" biker gangs that do security for Trump rallies. They all come together to hate black people.

This reminds me of a sticker I saw on a truck that was confederate coded. I googled it, found their online presence was a facebook page, which is already telling to the kind of minds present.

It was a "biker gang," and their cover photo was some 70s era political cartoon of guys on bikes being pursued by a cop car, labeled "the fuzz."

There is no way in hell the guys in this "gang" don't lick boot and fly thin blue line flags. They love the image of being persecuted by "the man" but at every point in their lives they have upheld that authority, benefited from it, and wish to see it's most violent impulses used against people who are mean to them. They suck so much

99% of patriotic biker gangs are just geriatrics who carry comically large revolvers that they never fire because it’ll blow their shoulders off

the original meaning/designation of "outlaw" was someone who was deprived any legal protection from the law. sometimes present in societies without a death penalty, to be designated "outside the law" was the harshest punishment because it mean anyone could beat you, take from you, enslave you, or murder you without consequence. social and civil death. if you wanted to live, you had to go where no one knew you and if you were discovered you had to flee again.

its kind of amusing, because my understanding of the maoist revolution was not that soldiers or militias had to go around executing landlords. rather cheaply, their practice of landlording was outlawed. the peasant tenants far outnumbered the landlords in every community or any amount of thugs they could hire, and like anyone who has ever been a tenant knows, if they couldn't call the cops to save their asses and enforce their property rights, every landlord would be dead in a fucking ditch.

boomer losers are always trying to self-describe as outlaws because they ride a loud ass motorcycle and cosplay Large Adult Sons of Anarchy. it would be awesome if they were deprived all legal protection.

two things i love: outlaw country, and worshiping law enforcement

[–] AFineWayToDie@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Rhetorical outlaw

Ideological warrior

Cognitive revolutionary

Cultural assassin

Whatever thematically invokes violence but doesn't require me to stand up. That's what I'm about.

Someone post that screenshot of conservatives on twitter posting AI generated OC drawings of beefy ranchers with AR15s and talking to each other like “Morning, patriot. How is your day today?”

No you don’t understand, he had an in-ground pool installed that’s 5% larger than the local regulations for his exurban town, that makes him a hardened criminal.
