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 don't even agree with the position that people don't perceive black people to have dangerous powers that affect society

Shades of Hnery Ford funding country music and tap dancing to repress the influence of Black culture and the recent British crackdown on drill music.

Just thought of another angle on this. "Sure MOST of them might not be dangerous but SOME of them are violent murderers, we can't possibly give them equality or else something something something..."

Exactly the same thing applies to mutants.

And uhhh nothing changes whether they're equal or not. They can do equal violence without equality. It doesn't improve safety.
