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

An argentinean friend of mine, was complaining about the lack of gas oil in gas stations on Argentina and said "we're literally Venezuela!!" and I was like my dude, if Venezuela have problems, lack of gas oil is not one of them, you cannot use Venezuela as an example for everything you don't like.
Didn't Venezuela have oil shortages due to all the refineries being located outside the country?
Entirely possible since it's the oil cartels that tend to maintain a monopoly on the means of production for petroleum products.
Also fun fact Alaska is similar to Venezuela in the fact that we rely on our oil reserves to the point our economy crashes when oil prices crash, and we have to ship our oil out to get it refined.
