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 am a shitty human being therefore being shitty must be human nature."

Top logic there lmao. Fucking darwin awards material.

This kind of thinking is what you get when people are unnaturally alienated from the rest of their species by capitalism. They aren't a part of anything greater. Only themselves matter. This is why you see this rabid selfishness where even parents sell the next generation for a quick buck. It's species suicide by greed and It's really sad to see. Hopefully, it can be stopped before it offs the entire species or humans will be a footnote reading "Extinct: Too stupid to work together to ensure the continuation of their species."

"Do you feel like your food is unnaturally abundant and therefore your desire to eat it can betray you?"

"Sure"

"Do you feel like your software development job has you more ~~sedimentary~~ secretary than the millions of years of ancestors that came become you?"

"I suppose "

"Do you think the contrived , artificial society that we live in has undermined your ability to cooperate like your ancestors did for millions of years?"

"No, I'm simply doing human nature "

If humans are selfish, then why big brain and big noticing other people's reactions?

Why do you think some people become... this when alienated? I feel very isolated and lonely under capitalism, but would never do something so evil. And maybe they wouldn't either but... I don't know. I just don't understand how a person becomes like this.

No I haven't read theory
