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

If I were to put on a tinfoil hat for a second, I'd say that the lead poisoning is on purpose. We saw how it sucked the empathy and critical thinking out of older people, maybe thats the idea. Easier to keep capitalism going when no one has the mind to stop it.

That's very very tinfoily. Not wanting to pay for maintenance is significantly more likely.

I know, thats why I said its tinfoily lol.

That's too structured of a plan for capitalists to pursue. You gotta remember: capital is brutish and lazy above all else.
