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 seems more like keeping people voting is one of the many ways the status quo pretends to have some legitimacy. (lemmy.world)

It is hilarious that liberals have actually appropriated the rhetoric that saying "actually, both sides are wrong" ends up favouring the "evil" side, but they continue to apply this maxim to the USSR and Nazi Germany. An inability to realize that what makes this maxim ridiculous, in the latter case, is that, in fact, it was the Soviet Union that ended fascist barbarism, while the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are two cogs in the same bellicose, anti-democratic, imperialist machine. As long as the choice is reduced to "blue vs. red" (a fake contradiction), the freedom of the human race will remain, at best, a distant dream.

But perhaps what irritates me the most is the overly pedantic use of Jim and Pam memes.

Oh, I definitely have a problem.

And, yeah, I feel like I'm really sick of Office memes and the show generally. I think I was just oversaturated with it. I watched it too many times and, unlike other shows, it's such a particularly sickening setting (toxic workplace) that I literally get a little nauseous listening to the opening.
