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

These people are just racists, right? The 15 minute hysteria is fear they'd have to live near and interact with brown people. The screaming about school choice is trying to get segregation back. The shoplifting thing is just racism too.

I'm absolutely certain that's the angle chuds are going for. "Don't blame capitalism, blame brown people." If you poke chuds long enough that's what they'll say. They'll use distracting language like "high trust society" or they'll say other countries have universal healthcare due to smaller, more insular populations. But I know what they mean. Ask any chud alive why Japan has such a low violent crime rate, and tell them to not mince words. Ask them to be honest.

The fifteen minute city concept is threatening to the right, so like with so many terms they are diluting their meaning to blunt their effect. They did this with "urban", they are doing it now with the term "woke", it's a linguistic sabotage.

Everything about being a right winger seems like an increasingly elaborate language game to construct plausible deniability for racists. It doesn't fool us but it does seem to make liberals pause

I feel like this post is basically advocating for self harm
