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

There's something awfully sad about capitalist alienation

Capitalism will turn us all into lonely monkeys cuddling a rag-surrogate in between shifts at the skinner box

at least we can have a few laughs on the way out

I honestly don't think it's funny. An entire industry has been built out of human loneliness, selling Sims characters to people with no human connections.

It's more jokerfied laughter than "ha-ha" laughter

An entire industry has been built out of human lonelines

Westerners laugh at Japan for host and hostess clubs, then build shit like this app.

every single utterance is a confession, no exceptions
