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

2020 made me lose faith not only in this country but in humanity itself
It really was the tipping point for me, solidified that yes, there really is only one party in the West (the capitalist party) and also that even a pandemic that threatens to kill and/or cripple most of the population will be met with the same half-assed non-solution as climate change. There is nothing that will make them admit that capitalism is a suicide deal. No end to their delusion. They're a cult. There is no reasoning with a beast like that, so it solidified for me that the only way out is revolution.
I really feel like the left should have made a bigger deal about the shadow app shit in the 2020 primaries, I feel like the whole "we won't make a scene if Bernie loses" might have been exactly what the Dems wanted.
It didn't make me lose faith in humanity, though, it just confirmed without a doubt that, yes, the tankies were right after all.
The crushing disappointment that followed those protests was the cherry on top
Nothing will change
Nothing will save us
