Most of the other responses are about their choice of fireball. One good house party would change these nerds' lives.

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

Eh, it's all aesthetics.
"Slamming a cold one into the capital", monster trucks, and the "dudes will see this image and say hell yeah" type of dudebro humor is really just one degree away from early 2000's "epic bacon" style comedy. If you're guy and don't like these things, you pretty much just politely get told you're gay because even innocuous forms of masculinity demand compliance.
On the other hand, calling it "redneck shit" is just naked classism. While I also don't find a truck with big wheels to be rad, arguing about it is just a platform to be condescending.
I don't even know why I wrote this out. I was gonna stop reading after I saw "look, he's probably fascist, BUT..."
In my personal experience, at least some of the performative masculinity dude bros are actually pretty okay because they just want people to have fun and they cant conceive that people have fun in ways different to theirs.
On the other hand, fun police libs almost always come from a place of wanting to wield a modicum of perceived power over others and are fucking insufferable to be around.
