Found this while searching for the name of the guy who drew the "
public schools are Marxist" cartoon.
Dude just can't help but make Xi look cool 
Emoji material?
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
Absolutely. Thank you for the taking the time to eloquate this, I don't like seeing it either.
In a similar vein, the speed at which libs went "well looks like we can be objectifying ableists too now!" because of Trump's rancidly profane attitude was a contributing factor in my further radicalization. For a political group who so often claimed to fall back on rhetoric of "take the high ground" we've now gone well far past "Bush is a dumb-dumb ๐" (simplistic, but a legitimate concern for a leader) and just recently had members and cronies of the DNC alike popularizing the hashtag #TrumpSmells. I get push back that this is the type of messaging that works now because "swing voters listen to this, not the fancy fascist racist sexist tropes mmhmm" as if it's an excuse to normalize discriminating dogmatism.
I love dunking as much as the next leftist but it's a dehumanizing cheap shot to ever focus on things like that, and only aims to lessen the impact of true political opinion fallout under the guise of "well, this election is too important to not bring back bigotry." I'm so over this garbage. We live in a time where pig_shitting_on_balls.webp is next in line to be a mainstream campaign ad.
Not gonna go on a massive rant to you about the build-up to Trump's election and the kind of slapfights I was getting into with progressive sorts over them giving out free passes for people who were body shaming trump and especially (dick) size shaming. You already know what it would have looked like.
Imagine me telling progressives that they aren't actually trans allies because they will attack men over their dick size and that they aren't feminists because they will bodyshame people and that they aren't queer allies because they were valiantly defending the Putin/Trump edit of "My God, Help Me to Survive This Deadly Love". I wasn't a popular person lol.
I can't imagine what it's like to be trans and to have people insisting that they're trans allies or wearing "you are safe with me" pins when they turn around, do shit like that, and then lecture and gaslight you over why it was actually the right thing to do. It must be incredibly isolating: "If these are my allies then I'm in danger."
Libs: Take the high ground.
Also libs: lol, poopy pants ugly smelly Trump is gay with Putin!
