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

You ever think about how black culture is simultaneously pervasive over the entire world, foundational to memes, slang, food, musicx999, sports, and cinema but it's also so highly correlated with poverty and being underneath someone's heel? It's like how can the creators of some of the world's most prodigious cultural products not also be held in esteem and abundance?
I don't mean to ~~equivocate~~ imply these are equal or imply queerness doesn't dwell in the same areas. On the contrary I'm sure you could talk at length about the intersection. It seems like the blood thirsty machine has a pattern to it.
It's true, all marginalised groups are brought under the boot, squeezed for their worth and then disposed of. Evil system.
While it is only something I read about once on an insomnia-bender, apparently electronic music, esp house, has its origins in that specific intersectionality. From what I remember, the post-disco evolution into house/techno was incubated in Queer-POC clubs.
I remember sharing Chicane's (presentation of? maybe some copyright issues?) Sun:Sets with a bi friend at work one time and they made an off-color joke about our sexual orientations. With that kind of context it makes a bit more sense.
