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

right-wing narrative

That narrative? The government should be helping its citizens. I am a very smart liberal and I definitely don't just categorize things as bad/right wing and good/liberal.

It's kind of fucked up how the overton window in the US has shifted so far to the right that the mere idea that a government should ever help its people is foreign to them.

government helping people is soviet ideology. the government should keep its corrupt bureaucratic hands out of the free market and its magical ability to innovate solutions (don't look up what corporate subsidies are)
