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

I love that all the things he named are just consumerist garbage. No mention of Healthcare, time off, affordable housing, a social safety net, none of it. Nothing that actually matters. And I have to wonder why he didn't ๐ค
Also this lifestyle makes me want to die.
it's really a perfect summation of American culture. there's no actual culture to be proud of - the American lifestyle is just a bunch of shitty brands (that exist everywhere) and food that kills you.
The softest ban I ever got on
was in some post about how "it's not okay to say america doesn't have culture" where I said I agree and that its culture is vapid consumerism
i am big stupid american i like mcdonald burger and large coca cola
America is best because of things for sale there. Exclusive and amazing things like....coffee, pants, shoes, beer and meat. The only thing 'american' about it is the specific brands he brings up. So what if my coffee isn't Starbucks, my shoes aren't Levi's and my pants aren't Nikes and why the fuck would I want my ribs from Applebee's if I ate meat in the first place? The fuck kind of own do they think this is? You can get stuff that's widely available most places but you won't be able to look at the same logo?
"You're lucky you live here pal, it has brands I've identified with because that's literally all America has"
