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

Finding happiness in existence is hard but it is a necessary step to start resisting. I wish you to succeed one day!

but it is a necessary step to start resisting

how the fuck do you figure that? we resist because it's horrible out here

I do it because of the good moments. Loving life for what it could and should be, and fighting for that and for the people who deserve better basically. Just my view though, it’s definitely more abstract than “finding happiness” cause oh boy does stuff suck rn

Because depression makes you do nothing. All irl communists I organised with were people who lived the fullest. They were excessively angry at capitalism, but also joyful, and sometimes really stressed and sad, and sometimes laughing hysterically. To me that's being "happy" in a revolutionary way.

Of course someone with a perfect life will not be revolutionary but I also don't think that a perfect life will make anyone truly happy
