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

It’s so bizarre when you find out these military bases are entire small towns with chains of restaurants, high speed roads, and everything short of a suburb.

Also, my favorite part of this video and much of the early COVID days were how clowns were wearing their masks outside where there’s nobody around, then take them off when they’re in a tiny enclosed space, interviewing their subjects at a spit’s length from each other.

Also, the soldiers deserve it. If I knew that my baby killing job would also include being systemically murdered, SA’d, and my complaints tossed out the window, I would simply get another job that doesn’t involve killing babies. trump-who-must-go Suckers and losers getting abused for a Camaro lease

Soldiers are not victims of anything. Personally I don’t accept the idea that they’re victims of poverty either. Everyone made a choice, they chose to be in the military.

Troops being kids from poor families is a myth

Troops being all kids from poor families is a myth.

Eyes Left had a decent debunking of this recently. I think the guest has their own bias they haven't fully taken into account but the underlying point of 'taking CFR/Heritage/whatever analysis at face value is bonkers' is a good one.

Good to have statistics for this. Thank you.
