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

This comment is incredible. I really lack the vocabulary to explain how it makes me feel.

There is just something about how half arsed it is and how it's presented as some sort of thought terminating got ya. As if a person from the 1950s not understanding modern day economics somehow means that all the things listed in the original comment aren't a problem any more.

It's peak Reddit smugness.

"We used to use the government to help stabilize the economy and promote peoples' welfare as an economic base, and now we still do that but only for people whose net worth is over one billion dollars" wow so deep so incomprehensible
