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

He is longing for the "good old days" when the AmeriKKKan Constitution was new. When women, non-whites and the poor were property and the indigenous were vermin to be removed from their land executed.

Whenever someone smugly states that they are a "constitutionalist" or the like, that's what they mean.

Constitutionalism is fine if you have an actually decent constitution. The U.S. constitution is not that.

Yeah, and here in Burgerland, if someone says they are a "constitutionalist" what they mean is the document penned by slavers that had lofty aspirations to lord over the ignorant masses and continue enjoying acts of cruelty with their slaves.

To this day, a provision still exists in the Burgerland constitution permitting slavery:

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Oh, I'm quite aware of that loophole.

Prison labor's all but certain to be plugged into robo servants soon, in addition to all their current roadway cleanup and treat-assembly toiling. JB-shining-aggro
