the_dunk_tank
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

Step 1: Vote for the lesser evil so things only get moderately more shitty every day instead of way more shitty every day
Step 1.5: Shut down any alternative to voting for the great shitstain or the greater shitstain. It's one or the other, bucko.
Step 2: Keep voting for the lesser evil for the rest of your life
Step 2.5: Shut down any consideration that a country that forces you to vote for either a great shitstain or a greater shitstain requires fundamental change that cannot and will not come from a ballot box. Shut down any thought that voting for either the great shitstain or the greater shitstain will further cement both their powers so the pipe dream of "change via ballot box" slips further and further away every passing moment.
Step 3: Hope things will get better
Step 3.5: Distract yourself with treats and/or being smug and condescending to those who have not/will not follow steps 1 through to 3 for being privileged
Step 4: Things don't get better, cope because things could have been worse if you didn't valiantly defend the great shitstain to the bitter end.
Step 5: Die miserably under fascism lite, content you didn't die even more miserably under full strength fascism. Don't spend a single moment considering how things might be different.
Ah, the American dream.
