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

Anyway, the NYPD paid out $58 million in overtime just to fly helicopters alone last year

Eric Adams is cool because he's like one single guy that completely disproves incredulous liberals thinking that Democrats aren't fascists. Dude fucking loves doing fascist shit and being dumb as fuck. Cop brain ass

Cop brain is so undeniably real now that a cop is in charge of one of the most influential cities on the planet and we can see exactly what is happening if he got to do whatever he wanted

And half the country despises him because he has the 'wrong' skin color AND they think he isn't fascist ENOUGH.

Help me budget please I can't afford my libraries. My only major expense is spending more on cops than Argentina spends on their entire military but somehow I keep coming up short

Cut education instead, spend even more on cops

ez

With education cut, you'll have so many cop candidates and that'll drive down wages think-about-it

I love how the liberal solution to every problem is to just grovel and beg for your fascist leaders to not do what they’re going to do no matter what

yeonmi-park In New York, you are not allowed to read. Instead of funding libraries, the Democratic-Republican party spends more on the police than the people's government spends on the entire Korean People's Army, and despite all that money, their cops don't even have tactical nuclear grenades.

Isn't one of the signs of fascism distain for education / intellectualism / the arts?

Yeah but that started like sixty years ago.

Never ask:

  • A woman her age
  • A man his salary
  • A Finn what they were doing in WW2
  • An amerikkkan their literacy rate

Odd, the Mayor of NYC is democratic.

NYPL should start purchasing some Assault Rifle Fifteens with the really big clips before they go to budget meetings.
