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 [email protected]
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's the politics version of the thumb shaped cop saying shit like "I ascertained the kinetic threat quadrangle hypothalamus ordinance of the pursuit vehicle service weapon" to describe backing out of a parking lot.
People who need to come up with a reason for why believing in and standing for nothing is actually better than having principles and trying to improve the world.
There are alot of psychology-major and docorate soc-dems who absolutely believe this, as it gives them an academic reason for their passive compliance with a system rife with inherent violence to distract from the fact they inherently profit from it because the more trauma there is, the more there is a need for their services.
I've literally heard it said irl, this chuckle-fuck isn't smart enough to create this argument, he's aping it from people who actually went to school.
