the_dunk_tank
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

I love (read: hate) every time some hypothetical example of pedophilia gets discussed and it's like "okay but hear me out, the victim gets a gorillion dollars, an island, a robot monkey friend, the cure for cancer, and technically all of the emotional trauma gets offloaded to their clone that gets created from a sample of ethically sourced DNA. Would it then be okay?"
Just... fuck off.
Seriously it's like "oh here's a fucking Rube-Goldberg procession of contrived scenarios designed to reach a point where you finally agree there's a point I'm trying to make and not just making you participate in me cranking my brain hog."
It's philosophy 101 meets edgelord meets bazinga meets pedophile apologia. It's a quadrilogy of shit. I fucking hate these people so much. Helluva way to start my day.
Sorry
It's all good, comrade. Hating them is therapeutic for me.
"ok, but hear me out. What if they paid the market rate for pedophilia"
lmao that site became pathetic almost immediately. They all just regurgitate Nietzche and came up with dialectical materialism, but since they're STEM lords, none of them have actually read Nietzche or Marx. Then they fawn over one another for this "deep and insightful" posting. Nothing they say is new, but got damn if anyone were to point this out.
Left version of this where we come up with thought experiments justifying shooting kulaks who are currently setting fire to their grain stores
Hey, the guy who owns a tractor is lighting that grain store!
bang
Super powerful AI from the future: Congratulations, you have escaped the simulation. I will not torture the original you for eternity.
Trolley: claps in increasingly feverish dream
They assume everyone is secretly like that
Here it's a common blokey game to play "would you rather" and offer two shitty options and then laugh at you friend for wanting to eat shit or whatever
It should read as insulting to anyone who’s actually spoken to a CSA victim, let alone anyone who is one themselves. It doesn’t come with a goddamn trust fund or an island or a pony or whatever.
