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

this isn't new.. i was denied school lunches more than once because we didn't have money. that i understood as a kid, no money no food. but when there was 'snack time' everyday and sometimes my friends would get in trouble for sharing with me when they felt pity. that i never understood, and it just felt so mean.

My favorite is when they’re like, “We would never deny a child a lunch just because they don’t have money! We gave them two slices of bread with a slice of cheese in the middle!”

That's just fucked. I don't understand how adults could treat children that way. "No money? Well, as a child, that's obviously your fault, so get fucked and go hungry."
