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

i have yet to have it explained to me why reactionaries think this will happen. What's the incentive? The only thing I've heard is utter gibberish about Jews reducing population growth for completely unspecified reasons.
The average adult at a good pace can walk 1 mile in 15 minutes. Do they really think every single square mile will be a locked off box patrolled by cops in guard towers. They think it'll be like the movie Equilibrium where they only jobs are sad factory worker and cops. And the ratio of cop to civilian is 1000 to 1.
Oh, I've got it. We should tell them 15 minute cities would increase wages for cops, then they'd be on board.
It has nothing to do with logic. They don't like public transportation because they don't like poor people. Anything that benefits poor people (really anything that doesn't benefit the rich) is bad.
It will happen because it's woke and woke means 1985 jorjor well electric car soy bugs
They can't even think in spatial dimensions. If you close off the blocks, either people living in the centre have everything in a 15 min radius and people on the edges need to plan 30 min for some ways or the people in the centre have everything in a 7.5 min radius while the edge dwellers can reach everything in a comfortable 15 min walk.
