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

No you're 100% the naked hipocrisy and selfish cruelty of it never stops being revolting. I think half the reason we all shitpost so much is we're essentially hiding in absurdity because trying to raw-dog this society after you've seen the rot behind the mask is too maddening.
you hit the nail on the head. i have to engage with the global news through shitposting because i don't have the emotional fortitude to take it head on. Frankly, I'd be concerned if someone did have the emotional strength to take it all at face value
There is an entire thesis to be written on the parallels between internet memes, particularly since 2008, and the Dadaist and Surrealist movements that sprang from WWI.
So true like I can't go up to people and say "fuck human rights" because they'll think I'm the one who wants to murder a bunch of college students. Fucking wild.
