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

Also, I take it that big truck doesn't count for this guy's "portable wealth" theory
Emotional Support Truck is for internal feefees, it's more like a security blanket
A giant, shiny, expensive, deadly blankey
Also, I have seen more white guys throw tantrums about their trucks than black guys getting upset about scuffed shoes
You know, I've started to realize something....a lot of negative stereotypes about different races, are all admirable qualities in white culture.
Anything a black person would do that would get him called the N-word? If a white guy did it, he would be praised for being manly. Case in point, as the Irish immigrants became more accepted into the US, they were assumed less and less to be criminals. Cop cars used to be called 'paddy wagons' as a matter of fact.
Just about any antisemitic stereotype you can think of about Jews, white people have done. And proudly. Case study: Old Money WASPs that people say with a straight face are the real oppressed group. Right down to the whole 'crying out in pain as they strike you' bit.
Black guy making $30k getting himself a nice pair of shoes now and then and a semi expensive chain: living above his means and the reason he's poor
White guy making $60k going into debt for his McMansion and Ford 150: ambitious american dreamer
