Literally just mainlining marketing material straight into whatever’s left of their rotting brains.

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

It takes me back to college where I roomed, went to class, and argued with lots of "leftist as they come, buuuuuuut" types that superficially wanted legal weed but otherwise delegated all ideas of improving society somewhat to billionaire grifters and whatever they were peddling that year (I still remember "E-L-O-N to Mars by 2020!" for example, and that was supposedly a conservative estimate that was challenged by bazinga optimists back in the early 2000s).
Just like the
in this thread, their so-called leftism was more like "wanting nice things in the future" daydreaming that was actually loaded with contempt for common people and in some cases deep seething misanthropy in general.
Just about all of them became chuds by the time I graduated. Some work for the military industrial complex now. Others for the corporate surveillance state. I'm sure there's still brittle flaked old stickers of "I want to change the world for the better" somewhere on their ideology, but it's covered by armbands now.
