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

Agreed. I'm early gen Z and I'm spending most of my mid-twenties in the education industry (although I'm looking to change careers), and I have made it a personal rule to never dunk on gen alpha. My dad and I were discussing the generational divide (thankfully we're on good terms), and he pointed out that baby boomers need to be reminded they raised millennials so the joke's on his generation.

Does anyone know if this generational war is just an American/anglosphere thing? I swear, baby boomers have bought in with "keeping up with the Joneses" too much that they now see their own children and grandchildren as "The Jonses" they need to beat. It's why they vote to sabotage them, they want to be the one who wins and "show those asshole millennials what for".

I hate being a sitcom villain in the baby boomer's story. I'll make sure that I never try to compete with gen alpha.
