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

"DEI mayor" what
Guy that looks like the people he's representing, is actually a diversity hire. Go figure.
Well in South Africa a similar tactic is used by rscists to complain about BEE (Black Economic Empowerment) and South Africa is 80% Black African.
These people are so racist that they actually believe it's impossible for black people to hold positions of power, even in black majority cities and countries.
DEI is going to lose its meaning much like woke has.
Not that it had that much meaning to begin with, unless you work in HR or at a right wing think tank.
True.
They do affirmative action for mayors didn't you hear
It’s going to get so much worse. Prepare accordingly.
He wants to say the n-word.
Baltimore is 60% black.
Facts have never mattered to racists
In fact, the fact that Baltimore is 60% Black and has a Black mayor offends them because they're afraid of our self-governance
I'm right there with you, but I just don't have it in me to stop. I will keep resisting and agitating until all of my friends hate me, join me, or I am dead. I can't function any other way.
but it is very exhausting and doesn't really seem to be working here, yeah. It's going to be barbarism, huh?
It's hard not to surrender to it, I keep trying but I can't help but desire to just move out of my country (I can't even afford it atm anyway)
cw: trans slur
To be completely honest if it is ever in the realm of possibility my plan is also to gtfo. I am several layers of priority target for these ongoing eugenics campaigns that are only accelerating in the West™️. No country wants disabled people, very few want the tr*nnies, but I have to believe I can thrive somewhere. It's just not happening in the US, and I don't want it to. I have no home here; the culture is toxic, hateful, it gives me no peace and it seeps into everything. Historically it doesn't really look good for people like me around this part of fascist development. As long as I'm here, though, even if it's forever, I'm not going out without giving them hell and doing what I can for the struggle and what little of my comrades in that struggle remain that I can cling to. There is no running from this...but in order to resist, I gotta stay alive.Have they even visited Baltimore?
