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

Hippies were mean people pretending to be nice, punks were nice people pretending to be mean—change my mind
plenty of hippies were genuinely decent and plenty of punks are huge pieces of shit. but broadly i think these are trends that can be drawn.
not important to this post though because mr rogers certainly wasn't pretending to be mean at a single point of his public persona (i mean maybe in an episode where someone says "that made me feel bad" and then he apologized or something, but you get it) and therefore isn't punk. cannot fathom a world where i believe he was
some punks were and are assholes. not all of them, but sometimes it is about breaking shit and beating people up and it's not deeper.
So hippies were libs and punks were leftists? Makes total sense.
