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

I sometimes wonder how many children of the ruling class hate their own families and would potentially join us

Just make sure they're still in the will, give the rest of their family the Romanov treatment and we've got a shit load of funds for revolutionary activities

It's a legitimately viable source of recruiting people with both the education for high-level organising and significant resources. The problem you have is that targeting them is difficult, particularly with the literature they need to read. You also need to get them during the right window of their life when they're wrestling with their morals and class guilt.

Or instill a deep distrust and hatred of police in them at a young age by sending the most forehead vein hamthumb officers you can find to 5th grade D.A.R.E. classrooms and let their politics unfurl from that kernel

A lot of aristocrats joined Bolsheviks, because of the shared hatred of the bourgeoisie.

They are all little Bluths, they claim to hate their parents but still live off their wealth and come back to work on the family business or inherit the house

Haven't seen Barron Trump in a while....trump-feed

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I read a reason for this: he's taller than Trump now and Trump doesn't want him anywhere near cameras while he's in frame.

barron trump just keeps growing. he's like 9 feet tall now and won't stop growing. thats why we haven't seen him

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I haven't read that specifically but I had heard he was uncomfortable now that Baron was taller than him.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I wonder if Barron can do that forward leaning stance without tipping over, though. I suspect his dad's still got him beat on that one.

they probably wouldn't be supportive of any measures that would kill their family
