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

They could be a Jordan Peterson person. I have a friend who got into an argument with me about how he thought he was "more left" than me when I called Natalie Wynn a liberal, and he also had a period where he thought Peterson was cool. I don't really know how that happened, because the whole thing that made Peterson popular was transphobia and this friend of mine was utterly immersed in trans friends, acquaintances, lovers, etc. But I never really looked into Peterson back then so when he was like "nah he's not what everyone says" i was kind of just like "alright whatever, some random canadian guy isnt a big deal"
anyway, moral of the story i guess is people are fuckin incoherent
I dated someone with similar brain worms. Vaguely anarcho-communist in her ideals, voted for Bernie both times, but her positions were usually reactionary because she only read books about magic. She was suckered into Jordan Peterson because he used big words to talk about the same magical ideas applied to the mind with Jung.
This is a type of person and they are all over the punk scene.
Late-stage capitalist hellworld has gifted burger-humankind with an unnatural level of tolerance for unresolved contradictions
Do We contradict Ourselves?
Very well then We contradict Ourselves,
(We are American Exceptionalism, We contain multitudes.)
Americans are so naturally perverted, fork-tongued and dishonest that they'll make up fake ideologies to trick their rivals and end up tricking themselves with them
Trickle-down, baybeeeee
