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

I'm so sick and tired of libs demanding that students juggle scholarship applications, working, studying, and fucking starving in order to get through college.

Y'know what? I don't think students should have to fucking work during school and it is fcked up that we've normalized grinding people into dust in order to achieve an education.

Oh, and fuck you if you have a learning disability and can't do both school and work. Guess it's poverty for you, buddy.

The belief that "I suffered, therefore everyone should suffer as least as much as I did" is so fucking alien to me. I don't wish what I went through on strangers, let alone anyone I know and care about. I'd wish a special focused version of my toil experience on smug hustlegrind chuds, but even then at a measured "shut the fuck up" level at best.

I suffered, therefore everyone should suffer as least as much as I did.

"Kids these days have it easy" is the same vibe. I should fucking hope they have it easier than we did, isn't that the whole point of civilization or whatever? It's such an odd thing to be mad about. It's also not true, but that's something else.
Record-high depression rates, but yeah sure it's because they're "soft" or whatever.
