the_dunk_tank
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

Love how they think "yea the system sucks you just have to accept that" is a good argument.
Maybe fuck that system then. Maybe we should be talking about how tonchange the system that we all agree sucks instead of arguing over why people have to participate in a shitty system.
Apply this logic to literally anything else.
Yea it sucks a bunch of armed guards control that bridge and you have to either pay them or they kill you but the system just isn't set up to allow people to cross the bridge for free so you just have to pay the nicest armed robber or else the worst armed robber could get your money.
People who say things like that don't truly think the system sucks. What they mean is they don't like to think about it. They can tolerate the system when it's invisible, but when they hear about stuff happening it makes them sad. But not enough to drive action, just enough to feel bad.
It should be obvious by now that trans legislation isn't coming through voting. No previous civil rights came through voting, so why would this be different? Liberals have no conception of how to exert pressure because they've never needed to nor do they truly care. I wish they'd be honest about how comfortable they are.
