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

jesus christ, how are these "people" so scared of everything? so scared of having to interact with your community?
I went as a fat cracker australian tourist and it was this easy:
ezpz, get good chinless chuds lmao
CW: Antisemitism
The chief obstacle to [fascist] utopia was the disordered realm of the cities — cauldrons of ethnic intermingling, voluntary associations (of unionists, bohemians, Communists, gays and feminists), and general squalor — which offended fascist sensibilities of order, cleanliness and efficiency. It is no coincidence that the ultimate villains of Hitler's world view were also seen as the most quintessentially urban: Jews, barred from agriculture, lived largely in cities; according to Hitler, urban squalor spread outward from their filthy ghettoes. The Nazis even used a distinctly urban fauna as their chief metaphor for Jews. Like rats, Jews were inescapably "adapted" to the city. To eliminate one meant eliminating the other.As a Jew, I can confirm this. While I was smart enough to keep quiet about my Jewish heritage growing up, I was still very much an outcast in high school and I remember talking with an uncle's neighbor about how I would love to live in NYC and he mentioned that cities are for "freaks and elitists" (Not only am I smart enough to know 'elitst' is codword for something else, but you're NOT being an elitist by looking down on nonconformists) and "we'll teach you how to be a real man here in the country."
One of these days I'm going to GTFO and live somewhere with my fellow weirdos, and I don't care if I'm broke in the process.
My neighborhood is very Jewish and it rules
I wish I had a Jewish deli where I live
I've switched. Now I tell everyone. If they care at all what I think it makes them less likely to let something antisemitic slip.
Never been to NYC but my experience in USA is that there is 0 sense of community anymore on the streets/public transit. Even Canada is much better
So many people think like the tweet where even if you try, they'll think you're a scammer or some nutcase and just look at you weird/ignore you
I've visited New York and Long Island before, but outside of Hawai'i. In my experience, the sense of community there is as good as it gets in the US.
It's a shame property values are so high there, because I would have gotten myself a 1-bedroom apartment there the NANOSECOND I graduated college instead of wasting half of my 20s rotting in a conservative rural/suburban shithole.
I like your style
