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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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 it's not a Ponzi scheme, South Africans in general love KFC and Chicken Licken. But the thing is, there are racist connotations with fried chicken and black people that racists like to play into. Essentially what the meme is saying is that black majority political parties "buy" votes by giving people fried chicken at political conferences, and that is the only reason these political parties win elections.
oh yeah I know I got that I just was kind of like "wtf is this leap here" and it made me think of the ponzi scheme manifesto
The leap comes from some people posting the same videos and photos of political parties giving people "KFC and t-shirts" that are re used every election. They take one video and assume that's how the the whole organisation operates.

Probably because unlike in the US, KFC and Fast Food in general tastes much better outside the US.
