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 mean wasn't that the premise of "what is America?"

Never watched it though

Borat and What Is America had many scenes that explored the American zeitgeist in their respective eras. WIA had some funny moments like when he got some Republican politician to say dumb shit and got Dick Cheney to sign a water board jug. It’s offensive enough for liberals to seem like they’re not voting, but not radical enough to really “expose” anything.*

*Though one time he got some hotel manager to reveal that he can procure underage girls. They reported it to the FBI, but he likely reported one of their own agents.
