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

You claim slavery is bad, yet you wear clothes. Curious.

It's almost as if there's no ethical consumption under capitalism.

Okay but I don't really do any of those things? I ride a bike, exclusively buy secondhand clothes and tech, and don't eat chocolate. Maybe you do, but don't put that shit on me Reddit boi.

People who criticize capitalism and live imperfect lifestyles are hypocritical.

People who criticize capitalism and live near perfect lifestyles (at least when it comes to not participating in consumerism) are unreasonable moralising evangelists.

Also I am now incredibly pissed that I read the other comments they posted

~~rampant~~ historical exploitation of African cacao farmers

One thing that bugs me about liberals is how they think everything bad with the world started at their birthdate

Boy, I wonder if there is a way to get rid of all those horrible things. I think a guy wrote some books about it but I don't read shrug-outta-hecks

Babe, you're so close to understanding Commodity Fetishism.

Now you just need to understand that the solution isn't in individual consumer choice, but to transcend Capitalism.

SPOILER ALERT

Or has everyone seen it? I mean, I know it's over, but I think a lot of people haven't seen it and most of them should.
