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

It constantly surprises me how many businesses have abandoned this principle in the Trump era. There's a new shop in my town that erected a huge sign that says, "Vote out the corrupt Democrats in all 50 states!". This is in a town that voted 71% for Hillary Clinton in 2016. I don't understand a business owner that would try so hard to get the majority of residents to avoid their business.
Businesses found out about spite consumption. Same reason that a relatively low amount of chuds can consistently get shite country music up the lists.
They have a much better chance to get chuds in by virtue signalling to then than trying to be bland and pry people away from wallmart or whatever.
We had a friend chicken business in town that was putting up cooker conspiracy posters and placards for the antivax party during the worst of covid, I stopped going there immediately. Who knows what kind of other shit they thought was government overreach, like wearing gloves while cooking my food or something. Yuck.
I wish I had chicken friends.
Haha fucking autocorrect, I ain't changing it though.
