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

“All this antisemitism is very frightening,” she continued. “I know the baristas here and it’s just very upsetting that all these young people are – I don’t know what they are, ignorant? Hateful? Brainwashed? It’s very scary this is what’s happening in this country, but I hope somebody knows how to fix it because it’s really scary.”

Quitting your job is now antisemitism.

I'm 41, still patiently waiting to finally ✨Grow Up✨ and ✨Understand✨

edit: also, I am a parent of a teen - really thought that I'd finally understand by now all the ~~stuff~~ bullshit I was told I would believe as an adult, back when I was a teenager with these same moral qualms about society. Maybe I'm just a slow learner?

The older I get the more leftist I get.

Me at 25 "Pacifism is the only legitimate form of activism"

Me now "Stalin was soft."

Even fucking capitalists don’t see that as they keep hoarding the wealth, they’ll just keep creating more left-curious people (probably the only way to build collation). But they’re probably relying heavily on the fact that the average American can’t even read at a 5th grade level or the fact that poor people have a lower life expectancy

Fuck if I know honestly it’s hell at the end of the day

37 here, and been working trades my whole life. Never had more than a week off of work since I was 17. Still a commie. When is this elderly boomer wisdom going to bless me?

Wealth; its corrupting influence is what usually does the trick. That and having a circle of friendly chuds.
