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

god what an unimaginable dystopian hell. rather than just let their small towns rot alongside the people in them the government is forcing people to go and develop those areas with juicy incentives

How many leftists here in the West would cry to the high heavens if they were told to do this

the idea alone is nearly enough to make me cry!

no, really. i'm tearing up just thinking about it kitty-cri why do we live in hell

iirc I think Australia has some plan like this but foreign students trying to get a permanent visa or something have to spend 2 years in the farms, I'm probably misremembering it slightly; one of my old school teachers told the class about how she did it but later decided to return to live in Britain

imo its a dumb comparison because its not imaginable

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Yeah no it's entirely imaginable. I'm seeing plenty of western funny-clown-hammer leftists malding at being told they have to help Q-brainwormed meemaws and pawpawps tear out and replace their lead-painted drywall and plumbing all across america.
