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

I once saw a post making fun of another post lamenting about how workers are forced to stand for no reason instead of being allowed to sit.

The top comment was “capitalism allows you invent a chair if you wanted to sit.”

There's like, 4 dimensions of stupidity in that comment.

Sounds like they're the real pinkos, not us.

Supercapitalism is still relevant, right?

Tangentially related to this thread sorta, lived in San Antonio. There's a major bus station by one of the largest malls. Right next to it. But there's two sets of fences between the station and the mall and nothing between, DMZ style.

The red is the best walking path.

Can't have poors in the mall

Bring some wire cutters in case you're running late to your job at The Gap

What kind of psychosis makes people think "we must fence in our curb strip"?

I got in trouble at a job once for giving someone a cup of water when they asked. Boss told me I should charge a whole dollar for it, because of the cup (I said "sure" and kept giving it away anyway). Policy in most places seems to be to not engage with someone unless they intend to spend money.

Normal and functional country.
