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 don't think their values have changed. Right-wingers don't believe in the meaning of words.

Right-wingers don't believe in "hard work" and they never have, they believe in ownership and entitlement through hierarchy. When they talk about hard work, it is exclusively used to justify the status quo. If you're wealthy, it's because you've worked hard and if you're poor, it's because you've not worked hard enough. It also serves to peddle a fantasy of agency to their audiences.

I noticed that too. When they talk about 'muh hard work' they're always talking about SOMEONE ELSE working hard, or putting an emphasis on finding ways to get others to do things FOR YOU.

Even getting a job. For whatever reason porky wants us all to "network" or if we have rich friends, pester them into telling the company they are an executive in to to them a favor and hire you. When "networking" becomes a job requirement, isn't it a wacky coincidence when 'undesirables' can't get jobs? That clearly means they are inferior....but please ignore the fact that being unpopular bars you from working.
