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

It reminds me of the "Black lives matter" slogan. "Black lives also matter" was obviously clearer but wouldn't have gotten the sort of reaction the actual slogan got.

what do these people want? "oh pretty please stop killing us massa"

there is no pleasing them so they just have to have their power removed

They want to feel smart while doing nothing

oh yeah, that was the issue the whole time. If we had the 'also' in there all the whites wouldve been like "well why didnt you say so??? welcome to the club!"

The fact that they’re so hung up on sloganeering is further evidence of how deeply unserious these people are.

There is no way to protest in a way that is acceptable if it is against the neoliberal world order. Quibbles about slogans are just a distraction to keep the status quo going while pretending that you’re not a terrible person.

Liberal protest is a day long retail blackout that ends up hurting gig economy workers more than the retailers.

Lol yeah if you can crack the code and just put the right words in the right order then everyone will just live in peace and harmony. The right slogan will do it I'm sure. Definitely neoLIB marketing brain.
