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 - "You should invest in a youth centre."

MEGA RICH LIGHT-BENDING GUY - "A youth centre, huh? What kind of youth centre?"

CONCEPTUALIZATION - Come on. Tell him what he wants to hear.

YOU - "One dedicated to instilling liberal economic values in children from low-net-worth families."

MEGA RICH LIGHT-BENDING GUY - "Brilliant! Without children who'll be there to buy stuff in the future?"

YOU - "Yes. And if it doesn't work out, we can always re-purpose the centre as a shopping mall or private equity firm."

MEGA RICH LIGHT-BENDING GUY - "When life closes a door, it opens a window, yes? What's the expected return on this?"

YOU - "Highly educated, work-ready, human capital ready to be directed toward any number of your vast interests."

MEGA RICH LIGHT-BENDING GUY - "Very impressive. You've got a natural eye for unusual investment opportunities."

I'd totally watch a mini-series about a class conscious grifter that sells ridiculous soul-crushing bullshit to billionaire investors.
