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

Bet this cracker ain't got nothing for the cultish way Amerikan schools force the pledge of allegiance in the mornings.

Or how about team sports? Is this supposed to be different from some coach in Indiana getting kids in a line and having them do the same drill?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Except ours is worse because it functions as a hunger games esque system where young people brutalize themselves for the entertainment of others in the desperate attempted maybe gain a chance at not living in absolute poverty for the rest of their lives. They seem to just want their kids to do some exercise instead of sitting for 6 hours straight.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

This is far too pessimistic about team sports. The "brutalize themselves" really only applies to football, and I think it's safe to say the vast majority of kids who play that (or any other sport) understand their chances at going pro (or even getting a scholarship) are slim.

There are also unambiguous benefits: learning how to handle defeat, learning to work with others in a stressful environment, finding fun ways of staying active, learning about nutrition and how to take care of your body in general.

So all those days in Kindergarten jumping rope to ABBA were actually capitalist indoctrination?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 10 months ago

When teachers say “jump” kids don’t even ask “how high?” anymore 😔

Devastated to learn that my middle school gym days doing the cha cha slide were actually asianese-style authoritarianism

Something something Sartre quote.

Imagine if a leftist tried to use "U mad bro?" or claim that they're trolling when arguing with a CHUD and don't have a good counter-argument.

"workout communally"

Ever heard of gym class? Sorry China's gym class is probably better for actually exercising.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Our gym class was disorganized pick up basketball while the gym teacher nursed a hangover.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I was born and raised in a hick town, so I totally second that this is what PE is like. Despite all the emphasis on our football team, "gym" "class" was a complete insult to even the concept of exercise. You spend 20 minutes just very slowly explaining the rules of fucking kickball as if we just heard about it for the first time IN HIGH SCHOOL, and the rest of the time was a boring nothingburger of a 'class' because no one (me included) took it seriously. On the bright side, there wasn't much of a jocks vs nerds thing at my school because I could always just make my physical shortcoming look like I'm just not taking it seriously like everyone else. You could just flip the script on any bully by pointing out "Wow, you care about things to the extent that someone else's imperfection offends you? Loser!"

Please Mao, come back and rewrite the script for gym class to make it actually practical.

Did this dumbass never go to gym class?

The cool teachers would let us play music, as we exercised together.

"The CCP decides it wants to push something on the algorithms"

*CPC

Also, America does this all the time!

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

but you see, in china this is done by the evil government who is accountable to the entire citizenship. in america, this is decided by one of a small number of rich people who were divinely selected by The Market to guide our society.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

Oh, sorry, silly me, I forgot...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (8 children)

I'm still trying to figure out why CCP is the preferred thing in America. It's either to emphasize the "Chinese" part (scary foreigners) or make it look more like CCCP. I have no idea.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

CCCP was the triple communist party

communism is a lil bit weaker now so it's just the CCP

TIL That PE class is Nazism.

To be fair, as a clumsy kid who hated PE and was bullied by my classmates for being bad at sports I would probably have agreed.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago

It seems to be a recurring theme where they turn their infantile whining about petty personal grievances into a righteous crusade against “authoritarianism”.

Eating broccoli = literally Hitler

Looks like there's still no risk of America beating the obesity stereotype any time soon.

Japanese had their kids do radio calisthenics in school while they were younger (do they still do it?), you don't see these dumbasses calling them evil commies putting on shows

When Japan does it it’s epic anime country

Those daily workouts were the best part of school in China tbh. 8 sets of aerobic exercises and 8 sets of facial/eye massage every morning

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Sounds nice

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

shoutout to the foundational PMC anti-communist radlib textbook 1984 which also thinks exercise is evil and scary, I wonder why the class of indoor gamerchair "workers" would have this belief?

yeah, Americans would think exercise is fascism, that's true

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

The enemy is both strong and weak

That's why we have to fear kids exercising, you don't want to get knocked out by a 12-year-old, now do you?

Oh, what if they have a sling, not feeling like a Goliath now?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I can smell the body shape of the person who posted this. Imagine being so damn "redditor" that the very concept of exercising with others is seen as pure evil.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Try to be less body shamey

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

You're right, that was very poorly phrased, the emphasis was meant to be more on the "terminally online" than anything else.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Fuck you, I will never Jazzercise.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Jazzercise is nazism

This place has made me write sentences i could have never before fathomed, and this is one of those times
