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

MODERATORS
YOU - "You should invest in a youth centre."
MEGA RICH LIGHT-BENDING GUY - "A youth centre, huh? What kind of youth centre?"
CONCEPTUALIZATION - Come on. Tell him what he wants to hear.
YOU - "One dedicated to instilling liberal economic values in children from low-net-worth families."
MEGA RICH LIGHT-BENDING GUY - "Brilliant! Without children who'll be there to buy stuff in the future?"
YOU - "Yes. And if it doesn't work out, we can always re-purpose the centre as a shopping mall or private equity firm."
MEGA RICH LIGHT-BENDING GUY - "When life closes a door, it opens a window, yes? What's the expected return on this?"
YOU - "Highly educated, work-ready, human capital ready to be directed toward any number of your vast interests."
MEGA RICH LIGHT-BENDING GUY - "Very impressive. You've got a natural eye for unusual investment opportunities."
I'd totally watch a mini-series about a class conscious grifter that sells ridiculous soul-crushing bullshit to billionaire investors.
