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

Oh shit, we were literally minutes away from banning all meat and forcing everyone to be vegan at gunpoint. Maybe we can convince the super-powerful vegan lobby to only end 95% of meat production, and issue special ration cards for people with dietary issues. This is definitely a really important concern that everyone needs to hear right now.

I'm a meat eater and this is stupid. No disabled people? Yeah I'm sure vegans are gonna kill everyone in a wheelchair and all the hearing impaired because like 1000 people at the absolute most i can imagine physically cannot be vegan. I find it dramatically more likely some tiny amount of meat production, maybe just blood production or something idk, or perhaps ethical hunting would occur for this tiny tiny amount of people.

There's probably a million people who say this exact thing and out of that maybe ten of them have a legitimate medical problem that couldn't be solved by ordering a 9 dollar bottle of supplements from amazon. They're just pathological narcissists who want an excuse to continue reproducing their consumer identity in a way that's comfortable for them.

I really don't care if you eat meat, but trying to make your bad consumer habits into an issue of social justice is just narcissism and nothing more.

reminds me of the person who said they couldnt live without the electrolytes provided to them by slamming 3 gatoraids per day, and thats why they couldnt do some kinda boycott or whatever. even if that were true why wouldnt you just stay quiet about it

There's something so innocent and pure about someone needing more electrolytes in their diet and thinking "mmm gatorade" instead of googling "good sources of electrolytes"
