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

Dont these kind of people realize it would be (just as) easy to control and survey everyone's movements if they drove in cars?
>Everyone's forced to register their vehicles with insurers and the state>Everyone's forced to ride the same roads>Those very roads are bursting with cops and surveillance technologies>Even your own car is packed with surveillance technologies>Lifetime subscription to consume oil and auto loans packaged as "personal freedom"I had a libertarian tell me once that we shouldn't have drivers licenses because its against freedom. He said people Iran are more free in this aspect, because "they can just hop in a car and drive at age 13", which I doubt is even true.
They already do this via license plate readers, both on police vehicles, utility poles, as well as the ones that are used for EZpass/bill by plate toll roads.

This line of thinking is why you occasionally get a libertarian guy who is REALLY into bicycles. It's like a double rainbow
