the_dunk_tank
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

There are many aspects of Christmas which should be eliminated, both the veneration of an infant fated to die as the ultimate scapegoat vessel of sin and the rampant consumerism.
Having a festival near the winter solstice centered on feasting and family is not necessarily problematic though.
Yeah, that’s more or less what we’ve been doing. To be clear, when I say “culturally Christian,” I’m not saying that I just believe in god without going to church or that I continue Christian traditions and beliefs uncritically. It just feels correct to acknowledge that’s the context I was raised in. Even the most militant atheists raised in deeply Christian areas have a Christian context. The act of negation and all that.
