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

This sub isn't deradicalized, its differently radicalized.

:data-laughing:

:miyazaki-laugh:

I used to blame capitalism for everything now I realized all along zoning laws is what I hated

"I bought into the system and am now only annoyed by some of it's more apparent symptoms which inconvenience me"

Spending more time outside of America, and realizing that my anti-capitalist friends who trash-talked America on social media all day were talking out of their asses & had no idea how good we have it here.

:yes-honey-left: Healthcare please

Talking to tankies and maga people

:both-sides: People who want better things and people who want everyone with too much melanin to be put in camps are the same.

I basically turned 18 and got out of the alt-right pipeline. Never really was into it but many things were appealing, since then I’m very left leaning socially. A fella really tried to radicalise me into communism but the stories of my parents in communist Albania were really eye-opening, when it comes to worker’s rights tho i go full commie mode as a son of immigrant workers that have been exploited. Tbh, i don’t like any ideology, I see many flaws plus I think ideologies are what keeps many people from being objective.

:centrist: "I want drastic change but am unwilling to ascribe to any system which would permit them"

So many just...AWFUL takes lmao

And they're EVERYWHERE

So much "Centrism is obviously the best" out of morons who espouse that they want change, but are just supporting the status quo

Well indeed, they are fans of a bloodthirst system

100% chance they went to Mexico. Buddy, neoliberalism rules almost everywhere, you just saw the flipcoin of the disgusting empire you live in.

Talking to tankies

We should be patient with silly people, but murica brainmaggots are hard to deal with

It’s finny to me bc spending more time outside of america made me realize how fucked and unremarkable it is in most every way. Even in much poorer countries my family and I have had as good as or even better health care experiences than in the states. (Which I’m poor so I’m sure there’s better care than what I get in the us but I’d have to bankrupt myself to get it).
