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

There’s something inherently repulsive about smarmy liberal language, and the juxtaposition with Playboy is just too much

yeonmi-park In the repressive regime of the American Empire, they make you take your clothes off in order to receive food and housing. Then they have a national TV show that films your family being murdered and if you say anything about it they pretend you are a child and try to take your food and housing away.

im way too old for tiktoks i feel

why do people keep dancing, why does everyone act happy for their corporation algorithm overlord chomsky-yes-honey

I still can't even believe that shit is a real app. You just dance to some music or whatever while text appears on the screen? Feels like some shit they make up for a crappy live action nickelodeon show for kids.

Like they explain the idea, all the kids on the show are inexplicably loving it, then they cut to someone's mom doing the macarena while her recipe for gummy worm cookies appears on screen, laugh track, end of gag.

Except it's not the end. That shit is real. That shit is real and somehow after several years of being an extremely awkward and objectively terrible way of conveying feelings and information, it is more popular than ever. Fuckin' unreal to me.

I guess I'm just out of touch and can't comprehend the splendor of literally YouTube but with a somehow worse, more limited video player shrug-outta-hecks

ok guys, its bad but its not what youre describing lol. yall are being a bit too much. its not even mostly dancing vids, the dancing vids are just what the algorithm gives you when you open a new account. you only keep getting them if you interact with them. frankly i think tictok is bad for the OPPOSITE reason, it give you such a targeted experience pushes you into these toxic pipelines. if it were all dumb dancing and fluff it wouldn't be so dangerous.

I figured out how to navigate nitter to see her tweets and holy hell I thought Reddit was bad. I'm immediately convinced that the goal of the Israeli state is to stoke as much antisemitism as possible.

unironically yes. the entity wants Jews outside of Israel to feel unsafe to encourage aliyah
