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

CW: Antisemitism
The chief obstacle to [fascist] utopia was the disordered realm of the cities — cauldrons of ethnic intermingling, voluntary associations (of unionists, bohemians, Communists, gays and feminists), and general squalor — which offended fascist sensibilities of order, cleanliness and efficiency. It is no coincidence that the ultimate villains of Hitler's world view were also seen as the most quintessentially urban: Jews, barred from agriculture, lived largely in cities; according to Hitler, urban squalor spread outward from their filthy ghettoes. The Nazis even used a distinctly urban fauna as their chief metaphor for Jews. Like rats, Jews were inescapably "adapted" to the city. To eliminate one meant eliminating the other.As a Jew, I can confirm this. While I was smart enough to keep quiet about my Jewish heritage growing up, I was still very much an outcast in high school and I remember talking with an uncle's neighbor about how I would love to live in NYC and he mentioned that cities are for "freaks and elitists" (Not only am I smart enough to know 'elitst' is codword for something else, but you're NOT being an elitist by looking down on nonconformists) and "we'll teach you how to be a real man here in the country."
One of these days I'm going to GTFO and live somewhere with my fellow weirdos, and I don't care if I'm broke in the process.
My neighborhood is very Jewish and it rules
I wish I had a Jewish deli where I live
I've switched. Now I tell everyone. If they care at all what I think it makes them less likely to let something antisemitic slip.
