Consider the following: as of January 2021, a CBS News poll shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans think the biggest threat to their way of life are other Americans, with only 8% thinking it’s foreign countries. Source

that’s because libs think of conservatives and conservatives think of libs as a threat to their way of life, not because people see white supremacists as a threat. some do obviously, but i’d argue it is not over half of the people who see other americans as a threat

Bingo, and white supremacists = non-establishmentarian “alt-right” conservatives in the current lingo, which is what Greenwald is talking about. Let’s not kid ourselves here, there has never been a serious threat to American power felt in the popular imaginary since the fall of the Soviet Union, so naturally the big threats are gonna be domestic. China may be growing, but it consistently keeps to itself.

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
