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

You can test your own food for botulism. .001% lower taxes is worth the poors needing to do that. galaxy-brain

I pointed out that his stance was anti-poor. His defense was "No it isn't, I'm poor myself." He owns 30 acres of land that his parents helped him pay for.

Similar brainworms wriggle around in ruling class vampires that think wearing superficially "minimalist" clothes and having a glass and steel view of their infinity pools makes them less like modern sun kings.

30 acres sounds like a farm or something which probably means he owns some form of capital lol. Poor... he can get the fuck out of here.

I love that I can buy a Brita filter and a hotplate to drink clean water in the US. That's real freedom!

Isn't poor people dying how we test for botulism?
