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

MODERATORS
I'm still positively surprised by the Thrift Shop guy supporting Palestine. Though, Thrift Shop was ahead of its time too, with its promotion of the circular economy.
It is the year 2030 and you're at your local thrift store — the only place you can legally buy clothes after Gen. Sec. Macklemore's harsh crackdowns on fast fashion after the Revolution.
After a while of looking, you eye a stylish t-shirt.
As you're taking it off the hanger to try it on, you notice it has a tag on it:
Life is good.
You then see the price tag and ask yourself why an H&M shirt costs more in a thrift shop than it does at H&M. You curse Macklemore as they drag you away
What's H&M? Was that one of those pre-revolutionary clothes stores?
a clothing line by Hezbollah & Macklemore
Hell yeah
This comment seems to imply you're describing a post-revolutionary society. Why would it still be capitalist?
Man might have singlehandedly ruined thrift shops
Some rich hipsters got a hold of a short bus and tore out the seats and crap to make a 'mobile thrift store' where they find some place in town to set up shop for the day and charge triple for what they went to a normal thrift store and bought. So now you can't find anything good at a thrift store cause these fucks are re-selling it all
To be fair the Internet ruined thrift shops. It's a lot harder to find a steal when ppl can just Google what something is and what it's worth.
