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

Crackers in the comments as always with the "we can't have healthcare because black people exist" shit. Transit and healthcare are always an issue of "homogeneity of a country" bro what the fuck are you on do you even hear yourself?
They never ask why the infrastructure isn't homogeneous. Red lining, sundown towns, priorities over who gets clean water. Fucking segregation laws making it impossible for black people to get seating on buses.
Diversity wasn't the problem. It was the systemic reaction to it.
God I'm tired.
The whole white flight to suburbia thing gutted city budgets around the whole country. If it costs five times as much money to deliver basic city services to the same number of people, that leaves a lot less room in the budget for other things.
The historically and presently ethnically homogenous nation of Russia.
Especially a wild claim when talking about a metro system ordered by a Georgian and designed by a Ukrainian Jew.
They're right, but not in the way they think. White people would rather cancel public entitlement programs than give black people one red cent.
Public transport seems to work pretty well for Singapore and it’s just as racially diverse as the US
The argument that crackers will respond with is even worse, which is that africans and arabs / middle easterners provide the kind of diversity that destroys a society, and Asians are the good kind of diversity, since they aren't thieves/criminals/drugdealers/w/e
The China paradox: Ethnically diverse when you need to manufacture a genocide, ethnically homogenous when they do good things.
Liberals view China as having the Han majority (bad, supremacists) and the Uyghurs (good, scrappy minority put down by the system) and perform no introspection on why their brains envision such a system
