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 [email protected]

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

Me, five hours into explaining what a film is, the existence of Hollywood, the existence of a country over the sea called 'America', the internet and what woke means: "ok so basically, in the year of our lord two thousand and fourteen there was this thing called 'Gamer Gate' and single men who couldn't have sex would harass women for criticising video games"

i think a medieval peasant probably would be able to understand incels, lots of systems existed that could curtail a young person's available partners in small village life. this post makes me think it's plausible that it could be a familiar mentality for antique people

I legitimately believe the average peasant was less ignorant and more cultured than the type who makes these videos. From what I've heard it wasn't uncommon for a peasant to travel by foot long distances at least a couple times in their life.

to be fair that trip would be to a grave of a saint where they thought that collecting rotting juices from the corpse could cure blindness.

what's amazing is the modern guy's ignorance in the face of being able to read and presumably having a secondary education.

Not me. I'm going on Pilgrimage for the hotties and then probably getting burned at the stake for heresy after the fact.
