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 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 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
Yeah I mean they're right, it is digital fentanyl and it should be severely regulated, but only as much as every Skinner box that Silicon Valley churns out.
Letting tech companies do whatever is in their power to weaponize billions of dollars in psychology research to lodge hooks in our brains is very, very bad. The focus specifically on TikTok is ridiculous "Chyna bad" nonsense, but yeah TikTok is fucked let's be honest
I mean, they are saying "fentanyl" in a very pointed way because these are the same people peddling conspiracies about how fent addiction is Chyna waging an Opium War on the anglos.
But yes, all these platforms are sick skinner boxes that should have their "habit forming" tools regulated out of existence.
Chyna bad
I mean, its hard to look back at her work and call her a good wrestler considering how high the bar has been raised by the women wrestlers of today.
TikTok isn’t even Chinese really so look at this for what it is, Anti-China posturing to build sentiment for future conflict.
TikTok is is only 20% owned by the founder who is a private individual and not the Chinese government, and overwhelmingly 60% of the company is owned by western finance groups, ie: Carlyle Group, General Atlantic, and Susquehanna International Group, etc
3 of the 5 board of Directors for BiteDance are American.
TikTok isn’t even Chinese really
Its a product that competes with traditional American social media giants, so its (A) definitely from China and (B) definitely a powerful opioid and (C) directly responsible for... fuck, idk, Hamas? I think TikTok created Hamas.
3 of the 5 board of Directors for BiteDance are American.
Americans WITH CHINESE SURNAMES!!! We all know what that means.
Oracle Corporation, a CIA cutout, handles hosting Tiktok and moderation of what content north American users see... which means the Communist Party of China has literally taken control of the CIA!
if I can't wave my phone with the tik tok app open at a cop to make them pass out then what good is digital fent
If tiktok is fentanyl then Facebook and Instagram were heroin first.
what drug is hexbear the digital form of?
Estrogen
it's da freaking red pill neo.....
Taking so much loperamide it crosses the blood brain barrier
imagine living in a world where you legitimately think that someone can read a few lines of text and have their entire worldview subverted
IF ONLY IT WERE SO FUCKING EASY
It's not China's fault America gutted its public education system to create generations of credulous rubes who believe whatever they see on social media.
We must invent the exact same policy we criticize China for in order to keep ourselves safe!
"National interest" is such a weird thing to care about.
I remember when I still hadn't figured out that "national interest" in a capitalist society was fake.
Brianna Wu has been full of shitty takes since forever. The only decent ones were those against Gamergate.
Literally the videos all these people hold up as examples of antisemitic Hamas propaganda are just randos making historically accurate overviews or talking about how bombing Palestinian children is wrong.
This is like chud mad libs
chuds "use" words like a gumball machine "uses" colors
so to be clear if i show a cop a tiktok he will recoil like a vampire from a cross
Just have your phone speakers keep repeating the word "fentanyl" out loud and cops will be unable to come within 50 feet of you.
This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read. What does that even mean? Like, if you accidentally use too much tiktok you will die?
I think they're trying to say it's "addicting" and "bad for you" and "China bad" while simultaneously pushing their new fentanyl boogieman. Absolute nonsense if you think about it for more than a second, but the people they're lying to won't do that.
I miss when conservatives used to focus on one or two buzz words instead of stringing together as many as they can.
This is much funnier though
liberal commie pinko tree-hugging hippie
if anything, this is a return to form
Way to make tiktok sound so much more based than it really is
next headline: china is making DIGITAL FENTANYL-ADDLED TRANSGENDERS BRAINWASH OUR YOUTH
Unlike the Chinese and their great firewall, us Americans love free speech!
When does Bari Weiss get a spot on MSNBC?
Is that picture supposed to be ominous or scary or something. I absolutely want content from everyone in that picture. If only TikTok actually worked like that.
I feel like the more dishonest and slanted a person's speech is, the more likely they are to be fine rounding up socialists
They competing to fit as many buzzwords as possible
Are my politics out of touch?
No, it must be the TickTock.
There's a fun irony where when it comes to bigotry and racism it just "needs to be exposed to sunlight" and the "the free marketplace of ideas" but leftist ideas are brainwashing that need censoring.
Huh, I wonder why those double standards exist 
If it were fentanyl then our politicians would be clamoring to profit from it
How come there's so many cops using tiktok then? Shouldn't they be dead?
Do it you cowards. Make every Google search deadly.
