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

Wut? 
mint is now a schedule 1 drug
oh ok i see so when biden tries to do a menthol cigarette ban it's public health and social safety but when hezbollah tries to do a menthol cigarette ban it's black marketeering and terror financing. that really helps narrow the viewfinder on the lathe, thanks
on them Hezbollah Kools
Quls force
I’ll serve menthol cigarettes before I serve this country
Ya Ali!
"It should alarm every American that our border is wide open, Hezbollah is about to be incentivized to establish massive cigarette trafficking networks in America, and the agencies responsible for stopping it have not been tasked with any mitigation plan," said Goldberg, now an adviser to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank.
Rep. Mark Green (R., Tenn.), the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said there is compelling evidence to indicate that Hezbollah will take "advantage of this new black market in illicit tobacco products and [use] the profits to fund their nefarious activities."
DC Think Tanks are straight up writing fan fiction and passing it off as policy
I keep hearing about this menthol ban, for years I feel like, is it actually happening? When? I thought it did already (I don't smoke) but then someone at the homeless encampment pulled out a pack to share a few weeks ago lol
They've been banned in Europe for years but sadly, we don't have any based Hezbollah menthol cigarette smugglers and all the chain smoking old women have to smoke regular cigarettes.
Uh. What's going on there with their hands though?
i was literally just contemplating a bit about how we should ban menthol because our youth needs to be STRONG, Real Cigarette Smokers
unreal that our delicious media would deliver a more ridiculous premise, earnestly
Is this real.
