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

"Muh Soviet in a supermarket" story in 2023? My comment was also about McDonald's in the USSR, so they're feeling super exceptionalist over fast food slop.

Link You can't see this through Hexbear because they were banned for racism, war crime apologism and ableism chefs-kiss

Stoned rant, coming through.

This is all nonsense, of course, but one thing stuck in my craw here. The weird idea that diplomatic staff were somehow sad to be there or unhappy with their conditions. This was a cushy position that people wanted. I don't know that capitalism supermarket is such a great draw to give that up. Sure, I'll be happy to leave my easy job to be just another Eastern European immigrant. Maybe make a side hustle as (very) minor celebrity dissident, if I manage to drawn enough attention.

Actually, is there a list somewhere of famous "dissidents"? I'd love to see some data what their demographics are like.
