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

Libs, often white ones, will literally read this kind of shit and use it as irrefutable "proof" that Kamala and the Dems give even two fucks about the marginalized. At the same time, they'll also call you "racist" and say that you don't understand the plight of underprivileged Americans if you don't vote for her, which would leave you to uphold all of the fascist bullshit that comes with said vote.
They have no ability to think beyond some vaguely "supportive" language in a tweet that actually is, like the title says, condescending when you examine it a bit more closely. Libs don't care about actual policy, tactics, or even ideology. They care about the aesthetic of the people they're voting for, but they support the exact same fascism as Republicans. They'll just be a lot more complacent under a blue-colored fascist than they would be under a red-colored fascist.
Yeah this shit just comes off as stereotypes/tropes and paternalistic condescending bullshit like it seems to assume that black people are stupid therefore more likely to have fallen for crypto scams and then goes on not to address the inherent problems with crypto but to protect their investments in the scam. Whoever crafted this is a massive racist piece of shit.
