Even with their thousands of users, the libs can't even harness a fraction of our power

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

Liberals actually went along with Fukuyama's "you will pay for your identity markers and you will like it" smugposting. It's probably a part of why they tend to have walls of Funko Pops and need to tell you about the specific craft beer they sip while writing editorials.
I hate how this isn't even a contrived stereotype anymore. Have literally met these types and it's all they have to justify their "everyone's experience is unique!" slogans
There are a staggering number of combinations of identity markers you can pay for! It's like the NFTs of the offline world!
you see, consumption is actually identity. the more you consume, the more idententer you are. self-actualization means boxing yourself within the narrow confines of what brands want to sell to you. why yes, I am very smart.
If you put on the glasses, that's directly the message of contemporary advertisements. "Buy brand! Brand is superior to competing brand! Look at this fizzy cleaning animation!" tactics are long gone. Brands are now purchased identities and lifestyle signifiers and that's much worse.
