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 absolutely hate this term, what you thought that little fucking bubble of comfort was going to shield you from the mistakes committed by society?

The pendulum doesn't give a shit where it swings, the era of comfort during the golden era of neoliberalism was Interim period, and it was only reserved for those belonging to certain few and select areas, I.E. White middle class

The 90s had a huge crime wave, drug epidemic, homicides, the unravelling of worker's consciousness, mass unemployment. The 1992 LA riots, the destruction of cities like Miami, Detroit, New York, Pittsburgh and the countless cities in the Midwest, all because some greedy fuckwit bankers got the whole world as a pie to indulge in.

I wasn't born in the 90s, and honestly? I can never live for a moment being born then, I would've been suffocated by the complete ignorance of the working class, things are bad now since that's the natural decaying state of capitalism. The thrill and rush of ignorance can only be enjoyed by a select few now, don't like it? Then fucking change it, stop crying about the past, look to future where you can be happy.
