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

Gonna need a list of revolutions where all the children in the hospitals spontaneously died.

Oh wait guess what... Didn't happen. Even when shit gets really bad the hospitals make it work right up until you create literal famine conditions like Gaza. Shut up lib.

I get what you’re saying and largely I agree, but I think it’s more honest to admit that unfortunately people are going to die during a revolution. The thing is these same people are going to die if they can’t pay their medical bills, which the libs will never admit to.

People are going to die but claiming that every kid in a hospital is going to spontaneously combust is fucking ridiculous.

People are going to die because there's going to be a literal civil war that occurs, with all the problems of a civil war that there usually are. Generally speaking neither side wants to kill everyone in hospitals in a civil war though, they both have to try and appeal to the population so "everyone in the hospital died" doesn't tend to go down well.

With medical provisions that aren't getting produced in the country anymore aid agencies pick up the slack.

I’m not arguing with you, in hard times people often do come together and figure it out to the best of their abilities. I’m just saying unfortunately even with that support vulnerable people often do fall through the cracks and it’s okay to admit that especially given the circumstances. Circumstances that are not the fault of the people, but of the bourgeoisie who allowed conditions to deteriorate to the point civil war breaks out.

To the extent libs will admit this, it's regrettable but necessary. Cold blood beats in these hearts
