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

I want to go to the leftist megachurch
Off topic but the concept of mega churches is so foreign to me. Growing up all the churches my family went to were small enough to be on first name basis with most if not all of the congregation, pastor included. We even left one because my dad had beef with the pastor over the existence of hell and whether a benevolent god would allow the existence of hell (the pastor was pro-hell). Comparing that to literal stadiums full of people? I never got much out of church/religion but I can't imagine having any kind of spiritual connection when you're "worshiping" alongside 10s of thousands of people, the grand majority of which are complete strangers to you. What kind of community is even fostered there? I can't imagine they're able to have everyone hangout in the church basement after the sermon drinking coffee and shooting the shit
Christianity as consumerism in its purest form the megachurch. Community? No one will ever know I was here. Conversations? I cannot hear you over this sick ass guitar solo during Days of Elijah. Social currency? Hell yeah, take these bumper stickers that act like those police union stickers.
This is what I was imagining btw
I too want to go to a giant communist gathering that fills a stadium or similar venue! But yea, American "Christianity" is so divorced from what I think of as Christianity it's not even funny. Even what I thought was a twisted imitation in the church my sister's family goes to is nothing compared to a proper megachurch (my sister's church had a paid cafe in the lobby, my dad and I got to have some good jokes about WWJD and running them out of the Lords house)
