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

Most of the other responses are about their choice of fireball. One good house party would change these nerds' lives.

I hate how libs dismiss so many people as white trash or redneck or whatever. A lot of those people are reactionary, but it's just classist to assume they are all idiots beyond redemption (actually libs).

Maybe it bugs me so much because my family is basically all redneck. I swear libs would try to classify rednecks as a separate inferior subrace if they could, like they do with slavs.

Compare liberal hatred for poor Republicans to wealthy Republicans. It's clearly classism. Flimsy support for pseudo-progressive causes is just what they use to convince themselves of their superiority over the poors.

They look at it as charity with strings attached

They do try to classify them as inferior. They call them inbred

We could start a redneck-is-an-ethnicity movement and watch absolute chaos unfold.

Lots of shit rednecks do isn’t reactionary inherently but is actually fun as hell, and liberals just have a cultural and class aversion to it. Guns, horses, getting drunk at a trashy party, farming - there’s nothing inherently rightwing about any of that but Liberals certainly act like there is
