the_dunk_tank
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

Convincing people to buy a tent for 3k, then shipping them a couple tarps you had some interns throw together is a hell of a grift lmao
The best part is that it's not even that difficult to make the thing on the left panel.
If I was a different type of person I would absolutely be grifting right wingers hard. I’m talkin no remorse selling whatever whatever it takes to stroke their ego type shit because these people are literally primed to just give their money away to the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. The only thing stopping me are those damn morals.
It's not immoral to fleece bad people who can afford it. Just make sure you're not perpetuating ideas that are gonna get a comrade hurt.
That’s why I can’t do it, they only buy things that reinforce their ideas, which are harmful as fuck.
Yeah. I probably could have made some scratch peddling a "covid cure" but undermining the public trust in the vaccines would make me a terrible person. I got too many scruples to take it that far. I could probably sell them some dumbass shirts and feel okay but the real money is all tied up in issues that actually have collateral damage.
Look, if somebody can convince some New Yorker writer to put their life savings into a shoebox and hand it to a "CIA agent" in an SUV, you can probably come up with something that will keep the damage isolated.
