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've met a casual fan of his IRL and he was a Joe Rogan talker. As in he spoke like he was Joe Rogan doing his podcast IRL, a loooooot of bro dudes do this.
Yeah, that whole CHUD Joe Rogan/Ben Shapiro/Peterson group all feed into each other and turn their audience's brain into weird dudebro mush.
Or maybe their brains were already mush and the dudebros just think that if they imitate their heroes enough their "intelligence" and popularity will rub off onto them.
It's a slightly younger than me dude bro type. And I'm talking like 2-3 years, I noticed back in high school that my dudebros were more classico 80s jock style and even a year or two under they had a different flair. They were all big fans of Sublime and Red Hot Chili Peppers and most went through a river phase and I'm pretty sure that's the problem right there.
Elaboration edit: they all suddenly became 'open minded' and 'interested in what you have to say' and seemed to take it as an invitation to interview people as a form of normal conversation where they're not conversing but giving the Joe Rogan replies of 'oh yeh' and 'that's really interesting' while clearly absorbing nothing and contributing less. They pretend to be curious but think just being a blank slate who adds nothing means they're learning. It's airheadedness posing as some sort of open minded enlightenment cause they went to a festival and did mushrooms once.
