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

It's actually pretty incredible how the reality of material conditions doesn't factor into the thinking or logic of a liberal at all.

A while ago in Swiss news they asked the question why, despite all the similarities to the USA, most importantly the high percentage of foreign people (and particularly, clashing cultures), why Switzerland doesn't have the same racial tensions and conflicts seen in the USA.

Not once did they mention the comparatively much better material conditions. Instead, it was all pretentious talk about how much better Swiss culture is, yadda yadda.

If Switzerland wasn't sitting on a mountain of wealth, you'd see the hogs going wild here just like anywhere else.
