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

Isn't New York one of the richest and safest cities in the world? Like wtf is this tweet going on about?
I think it's racism mostly. Libs and chuds can't fathom a city where white people aren't the majority being safe. Even though it objectively is.
The safest large cities in the world (at least in terms of random stochastic crime) are probably all in East Asia. In many places in Japan and China (idk about Korea) it's pretty common to leave phones and other valuables at cafe tables unattended while the owner uses the toilet or gets their drink.
NYC is a controlled risk, like going ziplining. You know you're unlikely to face real danger but the imagined risk is what makes it thrilling to the tourists.
