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

MODERATORS
I'm not against better city layouts, but would you put it past CHUDs and cops to try stuff like that if we all woke up tomorrow and every city was turned into a "15 minute city"? This has historically happened to minorities and young people for the entire history of this country.
That's not to say we shouldn't try though
Pigs and chuds already heavily police public space, inner cities are loaded with surveillance technology and minorities are actively driven from those spaces. I doubt it could get worse if you could walk everywhere
That's a great point. At least I could get fresh fruit without driving 10 miles
Also try escaping the pigs in a car when you're on their radar...
How could they? A 15 minute city isn't literally creating like 1 square kilometer mini cities within a city, it's just urban planning. There's no conceivable way for this to ever have cops try and enforce city zones.
i don't think better urban planning has any particular correlation with the expansion of the police state. in fact, i think much of cops' activities today in cities is meant to contain undesirables to "rough" areas without access to basic goods and services.
