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

It's funny how SF gets so much smoke when Oakland is right beside it and has infinitely more violent crimes, gang activity, and far left activism
At least 30% of chuds probably don’t know that Oakland exists
SF and Palo Alto/San Mateo area are where all the techbros live so that’s where the crime wave copaganda stories are aimed towards (techbros eat that shit up)
As far as they're concerned, Oakland stopped existing when the Raiders moved to Las Vegas.
They’re still the Oakland Raiders in my head canon. Cope and seethe, Vegas, but “Las Vegas Raiders” is fake news
Oakland has got to be one of my favorite cities in the USA. Tons of radicalism, great food, cool people, fun music scene, somewhat bikeable (public transit not bad by American standards, could still use a lot of love), open space pretty accessible. And just enough of a reputation for crime to keep our some of the worst tech, ngo etc types. Disclaimer: I have worked and visited the city extensively،but never lived there. This post is mostly aspirational, if I didn't live where I live, I would want to live in Oakland probably
The radicalism is pretty strong, never seen so many mutual aid projects happening in a city at once and I've met so many people who just grew up radicalized cause they learned about the BPP and met previous members in their community as a child
To be fair they probably just include Oakland as part of SF
