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

FYI most people who say shit this dumb know it's dumb BS. They aren't actually that stupid, they just say this shut cuz it's supports a narrative that benefits them. They like driving their big dick trucks to Buffalo Wild Wings to gorge themselves on cheap beer and onion rings and they know spreading BS fear mongering about how evil cities are will help protect that.

The only person I've ever spoken with irl about the 15 minute city conspiracy was definately stupid enough to believe it.

I used to feel the same way about my CHUD family members but if you push them enough, or get them drunk enough, or play along, they'll often admit it's an act. It's a big pantomime they all play into to justify the treat train.

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

They aren't actually that stupid

I got a flyer in my mail this week moaning about 15 min cities. They're 100% serious

The guy who made that flyer knows it bullshit but he hopes if he spreads that narrative he'll get to get his F150 that he drives an hour to Applebees every Friday for bottomless margaritas
