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

Unrelated question, why on so many random photos and videos from USA i see people having cardboard boxes eveywhere?

Lots of Americans have a bad habit of accumulating shit and not storing it properly, often happens when we move from a place with lots of attic and basement space to a place that doesn't but we're hesitant to throw away our crap.

idk. We have to move a lot for jobs and bc rent keeps going up, that might be it. But Idk.

It's where they keep that day's doses of opioids and amphetamines.

my struggle

My Struggle is the translation of the title of Adolf Hitler's book, Mein Kampf

[–] StellarTabi@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I have no idea who this person is, never heard of them, the post is completely out of context, but "my struggle" is still a very innocuous phrase commonly used in English.

The context is that he was photographed w Kanye wearing a Nazi shirt

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

JPEGmafia ("peggy") is a rapper. I think they've made communist statements or something in the past, I've never been into his stuff. The context is having appeared with a neonazi who was wearing a Burzum shirt (also neonazis) in an Instagram post talking about some sort of collaboration.

Also the neonazi is Kanye.

It's all right, he isn't very well known but Adolf Hitler was a fascist Right-winger who was the leader of Nazi Germany during WW2 and the Holocaust. He was infamously anti-Semitic and anti-Communist. He plunged Europe and a lot of the world into disaster, lost the war, and killed himself as the glorious Red Army approached Berlin because he was a loser like his followers today.

Damn that's wild

JPEGMafia is way too chronically online to have any plausible deniability on this.

[–] bestesttrash@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

Ok but can we talk about the lack of gun safety with his finger on the trigger n all?

continues down the edgelord pipeline

He's always been on the edgelord pipeline. Just because people here agreed with the initial message before this, it doesn't make it any less edgy.
