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

Comes with the risk of marrying a white American, vast majority of them are politically deranged and disconnected from reality

I'm wondering how many of these people were "spiritual" before 'cause that's a self-identifier that indicates a mark like these 99% of the time.

In my experience it's not exactly political derangement, but rather the arrogance of thinking they have the freest media and know better than anyone else.

This is the truth. Americans used to say shit like "I get my news from fox and CNN so therefore I am objective."

brainworms combined with brainworms to create centrist

Plato was a time Traveller and his allegory of the cave was him trying to explain Americans ti ancient Greeks

At this point I'd genuinely believe that is the truth.

Plato: "Lights come out of a box and make shapes and the people stare at it."

Other Greeks: "like fire making shadows?"

Plato, exhausted, going home: "yeah, sure, whatever helps you get it."

Plato: "So anyway, the people who stare at these boxes are stupid assholes but you can never convince them that they're wrong."

Other Greeks: Frantic note taking

Western libs in general.
