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 not sure what identifying as white means but cops think i'm white and it seems like i have white privilege so for eeoc purposes or whatever i'm a honkey and i'm not sure checking "other" or "prefer not to say" is meaningful
Basically when you observe terms like White American or American (I'm assuming you're American sorry) which label do you connect with more, which one looms largest in your awareness? When you see a group of white nationalists march in the streets on TV, even if you have a negative reaction, do words like "we", "us", "me" pepper your internal monologue when observing those groups of people?
That's what I mean by identifying, not simply as some detached intellectual understanding of the perception other people have of you, but as a personnel, emotional, and social awareness of yourself
i'm pretty down on my nationality too. there's christian dominionist freaks who loudly identify as their religious affiliation their gender and their citizenship in some order and i'm over here primarily identifying as "person". america is trash and needs to be thrown away, to put it mildly.
when i see things like the nazi march in ohio it's "wish i was there on a roof with a rifle"
My friend that just means you're a thinking, feeling, well-rounded human being with their priorities straight
