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
This is almost too sad to dunk on. People running the world have never had a reflective conversation with a professional trained to help process emotions and healthily cope with the human condition. They're in charge of billions of dollars worth of resources and guiding society's investment into the future. Cooooool
I once spent a lunch talking to a table full of well-off techies talking about their routine hiking vacations across South America to go on drug trips to "reset their personalities."
One of the other people at the table was from Ecuador, and I spent the entire conversation trying to figure out if he was about to explode in anger, explode in laughter at these basic white people, or just simply nod at his countrymen fleecing these idiots with cheap drugs.
Needless to say I take lunch at my desk most days now.
It's become more and more popular with the same kind of people who take MDMA or acid to be more efficient. These global north urbanites pay what to them is little money to local people to disrespectfully and without paying any attention to the cultural and spiritual value of the rituals, just take drugs that have a sacred role for indigenous peoples because broooo psychedelics make you like, a much cooler person
These culture consumers should be shot on sight.
