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

Really ironic that Yorke and Jonny Greenwood are Zionists since OK Computer was influenced by writers like Chomsky.

I'm going to be pretentious and say that I think it's because modern capitalism makes people create and cultivate their identities based upon consumption. People also tend to think that being a good artist and being moral are the same thing, and we also tend to think of art as an extension of the artist. This means that if you consume a piece of art by David Bowie or Radiohead or whatever, you are metaphysically assimilating the artist, and that also makes you immoral by extension.

Yes, I agree completely. It is also a symptom of a wider issue, which is the good vs bad worldview on politics, society, etc. (and people have preconceptions about what "good" and "evil" mean - which: the prevalent ideas in society are those of the ruling class)
