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

As a leftist

Let's take a look at that comment history:

Oh boo hoo, just because you're not in the middle class doesn't mean it doesn't exist or is unattainable. I'm just a average guy with a regular upbringing, and even having made some poor financial decisions in the past I own my home, boat and car are paid off, even have a cabin. I'm under 40. Pretty much all my friends are definitively middle class, and the ones struggling all made really poor choices. Like I said I support increasing minimum wage by a lot, and increased safety nets, increased tax on the wealthy (and I don't just mean billionaires), but all the "poor me there's zero opportunity in America" Reddit mantra is laughable if you just step outside and look around for a second.

I ain't reading all that. But yes, I'm 1000% sure you're a right wing (slur removed) desperately clinging to some fantasy that things are so horrible under Biden. Spoiler: if things are that horrible for you right now, you're basically a loser that would be sucking at life under any political party. Most of us are doing great, just step outside in literally any American state (especially outside of red rural shitholes) and you'll be surrounded by people driving expensive cars, pulling expensive toys, from their nice houses. Sorry that ain't you, maybe work harder.

Muh bootstraps

Lots of comments on r/joerogan too. Least reactionary "I'm a leftist, butt" guy.
