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

God, the alt-right messaging network are desperate to find some messaging to fight urbanism on. In my experience, good urban design is an issue that really resonates with people across the spectrum in the US. That's why they tried to spin the 15-minute city conspiracy. The sad thing is that I know they're eventually going to find one that sticks.

Conservatives want to retvrn to trvdition but want everything to be 20 minutes away and stay inside their house all day because there's nothing to do in your neighborhood

Don’t forget they’ve been taught since birth that their neighbors are dangerous and untrustworthy and that there can never be any sense of community beyond the nuclear family

The 15 minute spin has got to be the most effective pro-car propaganda I've ever heard. Somehow convenience and sidewalks got spun as concentration camps.

Oh, so you want walkable cities? Do you know where people also walked instead of driving? Auschwitz. Really makes you think.
