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

Engineering majors need like 4 years of pure humanities classes to fix what's wrong in their mind. This whole thread is so cruel to op.

There was one really good reply to that comment

Anyone who tries to make it any better is typically labeled an enemy by the west.

These places are treated like resource extraction sites for the "first world". If they try to nationalize the literal or figurative gold mines, bam coup'd. They're called a dictator, a commie, a rogue state.

Your take right here really shows how ingrained racism can be. Its always an individual responsibility problem, never a systemic problem. It's not OPs fault for wanting to live outside of a warzone. It sounds like she's already literally a refugee and your first response is "stay there".

Engineering majors need more humanities courses.
