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

If my father was Musk, and my grandfather was Errol, and you saw all the peoole they associate with, it seems it would be impossible to not conclude that all rich people are evil michael-laugh

A ritual to reinforce privileged apathy is fucking rich, isn't it? lord-bezos-amused

I mean this happened to me on a lesser scale. My grandfather was petite bourgeois levels of rich and a massive asshole to everyone. He was a role model for me, just an overwhelmingly negative one. I learned early that money and even small amounts of power can turn you into a removed.

There are actually studies saying the contrary. Kids peers have far bigger impact than parents.
