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

This is the same exact viewpoint I've heard college educated types express in regards to Marxism over and over. Like a "Marx's works are really interesting, but Marxists are the worst. I'd hate to be like them. Anyway I'm a Foucaultian epistemological positivist with influence from blah blah blah academic jargon."
well yeah of course. when your most deeply ingrained value is just commodity fetishism, every aspect of one's personhood becomes available for commodification. your beliefs are just something you consume as part of the spectacle or whatnot.
Yeeeeup. Worked with a dude getting his philosophy masters and the goal is basically to be not wrong but also totally useless.
Isn't it funny how all these people have all these super important and super complex worldviews which are so extremely cultivated and worked out and yet they never translate to anything in the real world?
Sometimes they get jobs as grifters at pointless think tanks if that counts
