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 anyone who was gonna take Laura Loomer's advice in this situation probably is cooked regardless.

Ok, can someone ELI5 their beef with FEMA?

Are they just rebelling for the sake of rebelling? Or is there some idea of how we should just sit around and wait for porky to do it?

pronounjak FEMA is a scary letter organization that appears in the Deus Ex games, so it's bad.

They think conservatives are going to be rounded up into FEMA camps. The earliest I remember hearing this is under Obama but it might have roots going back further.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 23 points 9 months ago

I don't remember hearing specifically about FEMA camps before Obama, but of course it all builds off the various American iterations of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion - Jim Birch Society - New World Order - QAnon

There was a real plan to intern potential dissidents in case of a major domestic emergency, but the actual targets were immigrants and leftists.

Communists conveniently forget the passage in Capital where Marx says "I support Obama's New World Order FEMA death camps"

I think it's conspiracy that started from conservative talk radio. Which makes me think it was initially something more banal like passing the blame on Katrina handling fuckups from Bush to the agency, and got Flanderized over time.

I'm taking a stab at the dark here, but I think chuds have this new thing rn where they're saying the current admin has politicized the hurricane that hit the USA. So FEMA is just a part of that.

Put Laura Loomer in a FEMA coffin and nail it shut please.

Can’t have them seeing the public sector providing where the private sector isn’t.
