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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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 guess all those gold crucifixes in European churches just appeared out of thin air
Everything in the British Museum was bought and paid for in a totally consensual and mutually beneficial exchange
America became the richest country in human history because of the Protestant work ethic
Protestant work ethic is that others should work hard so I don’t have to. It’s slave driver ethic, management ethic, the ethic of bourgies who glorify the ideal of “hard work” as a reward in-and-of-itself (so compensation can be reduced)
I've legitimately had to deprogram the whole "protestant work ethic" from a couple of coworkers and you could fucking see the gears turn in their heads when I pointed out all the ways in which it was incredibly wrong. Also apparently a lot of people in Scandinavia sort of just assumes that France is protestant, since France is rich and works hard, therefore they must be protestant.
