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

Fuck you if your body breaks down doing manual labor to fix King Bazinga's air conditioning, or to unclog the pipes after he eats too much le epic bacon and pushes out a brick, though. Better hope you're charismatic and entertaining on GoFundMe. smuglord

i went to college and no one will hire me now (i'm either 'over qualified' for unrelated entry level jobs or 'under qualified' for anything related to my fields of study)

workers: please mr. porky, please let me work just one more hour this week at the slop depot! I need to pay rent!

porky: NO ONE WANTS TO WORK ANYMORE! THIS WHOLE COUNTRY IS LAZY!

workers: please mr. porky, give me a job, i'm begging you, look, look, i went into crippling debt to get a college degree!

porky: DEGREE?! COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE LAZY WOKE GOOD FOR NOTHING COMMIES WHO DON'T WANT TO WORK A DAY IN THEIR LIVES! (not pictured: porky's nephew with a degree in '''communications''', given a high-level job they are unqualified for)

workers: but mr. porky i thought you were a 'jobs creator'?

porky: THAT'S RIGHT YOU PEONS WOULD HAVE NOTHING WITHOUT ME! BY THE WAY I'M FIRING 99% OF THE WORKFORCE AND REPLACING THEM WITH AI THAT DOESN'T WORK, AND THE 1% REMAINING WILL DO ALL THE EXTRA WORK FOR NO ADDITIONAL PAY! NOW TELL ME I'M AN AMAZING GENIUS INNOVATOR OR ELSE I'M CUTTING YOUR HOURS TO ONE DAY A WEEK!

There will be a day where humanity looks back and laughs at a system where you had to ask for permission to work, let alone from uptight elitists that keep angrily yelling at the work itself to start doing itself.
