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

The think tank bros are not okay. Props to this dumbass retweeting all the people calling him a fucking idiot though. Good bit.

Which is hypocritical because every single US politician talks about bringing jobs into their state or district as part of their policy. But also businesses are job creators. Somehow nobody is responsible for lost jobs though. thinkin-lenin

I think the average neoliberal would interpret brining jobs to a state as stuff like removing regulations or lowering taxes. They can only interpret political action in terms of austerity vs regulation.

These people think private industry is just a few tweaks away from delivering full utopia but the problem are those gosh darn bureaucrats always raising taxes and spending public funds on useless things like education, roads, and hospitals. If only we could unleash our poor, humble business owners from the oppression of taxes they will deliver us heaven
