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

(obviously it privileged to think everyone can just pull up stakes and move to Italy, but it's equally naive to think we can magically turn the us into a first world country by voting harder)

Even the liberals are doing the "Just move to Europe, bro" meme as if that isn't basically impossible for the majority of people. Like, if I could fuck off to Scotland, I would have done so as soon as I graduated high school.

Oh yeah, and I have to pay taxes to the US even if I'm not living there because of citizenship-based taxation. It's not enough for the bourgeoisie to tell me to go away if I ever point certain things out, but they will still get a cut of my paycheck even if I do.

I'm fairly certain the US has taxation treaties with a number of countries including the UK that prevent you paying tax to the US while living there so long as you don't make more than something like $200k a year.
