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

Wrestling and boxing've always kind of been a shitshow for politics, and I assume that carries over to MMA
MMA was always ripe for rightwing politics, much more than boxing. Boxing is still mostly made up of Blacks and Mexicans from impoverished backgrounds. MMA attracts a lot of white boys from middle class backgrounds.
This just isn't true. The fans, yes, but the fighters come from all over. There are fucktons of Russian, Dagestan, chechen, Thai, Brazilian, and African fighters. And that's just in the ufc. This doesn't count Russian, EU, and Southeast Asian promotions
The Brazilian MMA fighters are all the worst type of chuds and usually come from a middle class or richer background (if they even start as a kid, those Aldo gyms are filled to the brim with adults). Poor kids tend to practice tae-kwon-do or Jiu-Jitsu here.
Oh for sure, yeah the sport definitely has a worldwide chud vibe, I was just speaking on "rich white kid" kinda deal.
