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

Cool. We could change that by cutting off subsidy money to the K-Hole enjoyer then.

Maybe we should put them in houses, then, so they aren't homeless.

Jeff Bezos is actually worse, he's just smart enough to know when to shut the fuck up

It's the same narcissist fascist vs competent fascist dynamic just at a different layer of the structure.

Lots of people are worse, but no-one else is quite as pathetic as Musk is

Okay hear me out but I think that Elon Musk needs to be allowed to operate until he does create the Torment Nexus, because until we have a Torment Nexus I don't know how we can properly deal with him.

Oh god, at first glance it appears he's so close to realizing that yes, with every cent of increased funding it gets, the DEA directly makes drug addiction both more prevalent and deadly by artificially driving unregulated black market demand for insanely potent, synthetic mu-opioid agonists. Some of the newer RC opioids aren't even based on the structure of fentanyl anymore. When this happens, the drug grey market literally outpaces legislation until the DEA catches wind of things and schedules a defining member of the class.

Of course, this hypocritical piece of shit is actually talking about increased funding for aid directly to the homeless. doomjak

So why did he get mad at the phrase "defund the police?"

Serious question - who is Clay Shirky? Some "philosopher" type funded by a billionaire?

I tried to read his Wikipedia page but the text sounds like a moronic redditor trying very hard and failing to be clever...

Shirky asserts that collaborative crowdsourced work results from "a successful fusion of a plausible promise, an effective tool, and an acceptable bargain with the users." He states that the promise of what the user will get out of participating in a project leads to a person's desire to get involved.

Collaborators will then choose the best social networking tool to do the job. One that "must be designed to fit the job being done, and it must help people do something they actually want to do." The bargain, Shirky states, defines what collaborators expect from each other's participation in the project. Shirky's 'Promise, Tool, Bargain' premise restates aspects of the Uses and Gratifications Theory of mass media research.

elon musk is literally some fallen demonic subhuman that the demiurge created as one of the main faces of the evil that is currently destroying the planet

Why did he put homeless in scare quotes? Is there some kind of chud conspiracy that homeless people are actually just crisis actors?
