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

Generational fights are stupid and fix nothing.

Edit: Emphasis on fix.

Counterpoint, virtually every societal problem we have now is a result of boomers tearing down a mostly working system to make sure there was nothing left for anybody after them.

If there isn't something uniquely wrong with boomers how come every poll of "should we do things that improve society or keep fucking everything up" has boomers in support of fucking everything up by 40 points compared to millenials.

Hey, it was efficiently looting wealth from resource neocolonies and distributing it to a white American middle class of pro-imperialist chauvinists! Why did they have to break such a great system!
