  • Closing the dunk/dredge tanks is a futile change. I understand that often times it didn’t exactly produce valuable discourse and I’m sure there were instances of reactionary posts, but “get a load of this lib/chud” is like 50% of hexbear. The dunk tank exists to contain those posts, closing that community will not make those posts go away, it will just make them clutter the other communities or the megathreads. So what if the posts on there are low effort? Who cares? If I want to read actual theory, I’ll pick up a book.

    To put it another way: Many of us go on hexbear because getting mad at the same thing together feels cathartic, especially when nobody in our physical surroundings shares our political opinions. We see a dumb tweet by some liberal and we wanna have like-minded folks agree with us that it’s dumb, so we go on hexbear to post it here. That’s what the dunk tank is for and while it’s not very productive and it’s not gonna bring about the revolution, trying to stop these kinds of posts is a losing battle.

    I mean, just look at how the dredge tank came to be: Mods didn’t want screenshots of tweets by random nobodies and so they implemented a rule about it, but people wouldn’t stop posting them so the dredge tank was eventually created as a compromise. Because although it might be low-effort and unproductive, dunking on dumb tweets is what the userbase wants and it’s what they’ll keep doing. !gossip@hexbear.net is just gonna become the new dunk tank.


  • Don’t wanna make a dunk/dredge tank post for this but just saw this zionist bs on my timeline and wanted to rant about it

    tw: zionists being unhinged + rant

    After all the horrific nazi shit I’ve heard zionists say over the past 13 months, somehow this post still made me go “Wow.”. Can you imagine looking Anne Frank in the eye, a 15-year-old girl dying of starvation and sickness in a 1945 concentration camp, her sister having dropped dead a few days ago, and telling her this with a straight face? That her fate is just like what happened to some racist hooligans who got beat up for chanting “death to arabs”?

    I’m just shocked that zionists would spit on Anne Frank’s image like this. She is a symbol for all innocent victims of the Holocaust, a young girl who did absolutely nothing wrong, who spent her entire life being persecuted purely for being jewish and who was eventually killed for it. I can’t believe that any jew, even a morally bankrupt zionist, would disrespect her like that. I know they’ve been relativizing the Holocaust this whole time, but specifically invoking Anne Frank, such an embodiement of innocence with such a cruel fate, all while talking about fucking football hooligans, just feels like a whole new level of shamelessness.

    How dare you compare yourself to her when your guys are literally being protected by cops? This girl had to live crammed inside a fucking shack with her family for 2 years where they lived in constant fear of being discovered by the authorities, while your guys are getting police escorts whenever there’s any trouble and your favorite hobby is complaining to the manager because you saw a watermelon somewhere. In this analogy, you’re the one who ratted Anne out to the Nazis and got her sent to fucking Auschwitz. That would’ve been you, you depraved freak. Sorry if this sounds melodramatic but if there is an afterlife, I really hope that Anne Frank doesn’t have to see this. What a disgrace. What an affront to victims of the Holocaust. I don’t want to see any zionist invoke Anne Frank ever again. Fuck all of you shameless, genocidal maniacs.














  • I love Michael Knowles. He’s such an unbelievable moron and he has zero self-awareness about it. Tim Pool is an idiot but he kinda knows it and Ben Shapiro is at least a pretty skilled debater, meanwhile Knowles has the intellect of a platypus but clearly believes he’s one of the greatest thinkers of our time. He also has no charisma whatsoever and nobody really gives a shit about what he says, if he wasn’t platformed by the Daily Wire he’d have no clout at all. Getting high and listening to him babble complete gibberish might actually be fun.
