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.

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
You know, my plan when Bernie eventually dies, was to not exactly celebrate; but more to reflect that, yeah even though he ended up being a liberal Zionist piece of shit I respect the fact that he started something that got many of us on the pipeline.
But fuck that, now I will be doing crab dances when he dies and piss on his grave.
a few months post Al-Aqsa Flood when it became clear Bernie wasn't going to use the term "genocide", I trashed most of the Bernie campaign materials left from 2020. I had boxes of stuff. the only thing I held onto was a nice full-zip Bernie campaign hoodie. It's one of the few things I haven't thrown out but now I have the impulse to burn it because there's no context in which I can imagine wearing it again
You could always stich 'Fuck' onto it
hmm maaaaybe, but then people might think it's a Trump sweatshirt because it says 2020 underneath the Bernie
maybe if I also add "social imperialist and genocide enabler" underneath.
Leftist meme sweater
Do the entire text of Fisher on capitalist realism
I ended up with some free swag for [extremely ghoulish corporation] that I've held onto in the hopes that I could find a very funny situation to wear it, so there's always that angle. I realize that it's a lot more painful to hold on to something that you once felt proud of, though.
I have a CIA pen in my drawer for that exact reason. Only corpo swag I use are stickers from small places like Goulet pens, and a Hudson River trading sticker that says "code with hrt".
Same, one depressing but also funny part of going to STEM exclusive job fairs is that I have a lot of swag from military and weapons contractors I try to use ironically.
I remember putting chiquita stickers on a CIA booth at one of those. Good times.
Goulet pens' owners were recently revealed to be part of a very homophobic church group and did not disavow, kept liking gross stuff on social media.
Sorry lol
Interesting (derogatory)
Yeah I have a similar thing, a shirt from a summer camp that was sponsored by... one of the worst companies. I don't really know if I've had a good opportunity to wear it though.
