I know exactly what type of person this guy is. They want to be a thought leader so bad, but they have nothing truly deep or new to offer, so they half-remember stories they read on the Internet – and that everyone else has read too, because these guys only browse the big websites like Twitter and Reddit – and hope that the blue check will give them the attention they crave so much.

Bonus: this was a reply to the video of that guy who goes to work and back home for lunch. Congratulations on understanding narration, blue check. You are truly a god among men.

This is just like the ancient parable of the wretched egg-man who sat on a wall

Let’s be real. This is like 99% of us too. We’re just sometimes aware enough to keep our unoriginal musings between ourselves and our evil alter egos.

Sisyphus is my favorite Greek myth, love the part where he punches robots and sounds like the disco elysium narrator

Create post

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
