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

Slightly tangential, but “re-education” is one of those thought terminating cliches that if you stop and think about for more than a second, makes complete sense in a lot of scenarios. If there’s a population or sub-population that overwhelmingly holds racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, and/or classist views, then yeah they need some educating. And if I’ve got to sit in the DMV for a couple hours every few years just to renew an ID, they can sit through an hour presentation on why being a bigot is a problem.

i know it's not what you meant, but i love the idea that After the Revolution we'll send the petty bourgeoisie to till the soil, but the DMV will still exist largely unchanged.

Garbage still needs to be collected, still need to make sure people know what the road signs are.

sorry, i'm having a fit of anarchism, you sound like a crazy person to me

After the revolution...

Instead we get liberal diversity modules lmao it’s not even training they’re ten minute interactive modules that most companies are required to do

And you’d think recognizing microagressions means you’ve solved racism. Really irritates me

Re-education takes longer than an hour, surely.

"Re-education" gets a bad rap because it's frightening for Burgerlanders to imagine being forced to re-learn anything rather than bumblefucking through their lifelong illusion of consumer choices where they're the infallible Main Character. wojak-nooo
