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

Isn't Ben Shapiro one of those "rap music isn't real music" type of guys? I get that he's basically a walking example of the Sartre Antisemite™ quote, but still

Ever since conservstives/fascists started doing this kind of music he's "changed his mind". But we all know it's a case of us-foreign-policy

lmayo when black people do something: "I'm not sure about that"

lmayo when other lmayo do it: "How wonderful"

He's fine with it so long as the rappers are white.

Anything’s “good” if the maker agrees with your trash views.

He thinks it's talentless in comparison to classical music, but his main talking point with lots of it was about the 'values' - twerking, violence, etc etc the usual conservative hypocrises.

This sort of 'rap' is about personal responsibility and stuff so it's all good.

All part of their avoidance of material analysis so they can say rap music and single mothers make black people poor.
