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

I didn't even know what a "rhodesia" was until someone posted a FN-FAL on /r/guns
and all the comments were full blown fashposting. That plus the "roof Korean" glorification made me wonder if there might be something wrong with that place
Roof Korean has always been a euphemism for shooting black people, despite the end result of the roof koreans during the Rodney King Uprisings in 90s Los Angeles those same roof koreans being shooting other koreans including eachother
Hence why every discussion around black/brown people protesting/doing civil unrest includes morons saying that they need roof koreans or whatever
I have very mixed feelings about the Roof Koreans. While their imagery has definitely be coopted as a canard for the fantasy of anti-black violence, there has also been some recent attempts to invoke them as the only well-known example of Asian-American armed self-defense in the background of increasingly fanatical anti-Asian racism in the US.
I don't like the fact that they're being used to stoke inter-minority violence, but I also don't like the fact that some people are using them to try to convince Asian-Americans against the necessity of organizing and arming themselves.
