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

The dead ones are probably the lucky ones in this situation.
If they believe parental neglect of children should be permitted, then there would be orders of magnitude more children who end up malnourished, developmentally stunted, and abused, but not to the point of dying ๐
You'd see twice as many instances of chained up 17 year olds who have seen the sun twice and eaten nothing besides dry store brand corn flakes their entire life. Or sold to their local libertarian warlord or meth dealer.
Even the ones that manage to become an independent adult will have severe traumas and extreme difficulties integrating into society. How big is the problem where the state takes a child away that shouldn't have been? Just another right wing weirdo who sees children as property of their parents.
