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

This person has never once thought in their life how anything is maintained
Ever meet a "hah, you statists think you need public roads"
type, who thought it was an own to call out that you mentioned public roads as if it was a self-own without having any viable way around that need that isn't even more of a public service like trains?
They're out there, and they will sometimes resort to something fucking bazinga like "jetpacks!" for an answer.
I've seen a libertarian on reddit argue that the gubberment doesn't nees to build roads because corporations will do it in order to reach new consumers.
have access to roads for only $39.99/month!
What if access to roads... on the blockchain?
(you do not have physical access to the road, but you have this token which represents usage rights for the road)
Actually I'm a non-voting shareholder in the road
a bunch of federal land isn't maintained and especially out west you can just go fuck around in the middle of stolen nowhere.
Can confirm, have worked for the forest service. It's mostly skeleton crews to manage thousands upon thousands of acres. Even less in BLM lands, but that's also because they are usually just rented for almost nothing to ranchers and oil prospectors (hence why we call them the bureau of livestock and mining)
