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

Fortunately yes. But of course, this is John Oliver, so you're not going to get any actual systemic critique or delving into the role of capitalism in this, the problem's apparently NIMBYs not wanting affordable housing in their neighbourhoods. That's where the sushi bit came from.
it looks like he had the best take possible for a liberal
Still not redeemed for the awful Venezuela and Taiwan episodes
libs are gonna lib, he also had the customary bad take on Tibet.
The whole premise of the show is "We all agree that [bad thing in America] is bad right? Ipso facto, we can all agree that [thing in Venezuela/Tibet/Xinjiang/Belarus/Ukraine/Russia] is bad." Get the audience clapping like seals for domestic subjects they're familiar with, then carry that energy into foreign subjects they don't know shit about. Funny how the domestic segments never lead to calling for the regime to be overthrown though.
A Citations Needed episode is overdue.
