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

MODERATORS
You might want to chat with people before speaking for them, because they seem pretty adamanant that not all ~~men~~ privileged first worlders:
The classic "why are you criticizing all white men??? IM NOT RACIST WTF STFU" fragile-ass MFers
Guys, if you read a generalized critique of a dominant social group you belong to and you don't personally exhibit the criticized behaviors then it doesn't apply to you. Not that difficult. You are in the privileged group. You hold more power in society. If you get butthurt and need to correct the record over a meme that actually accurately represents a large number of first worlders (pro-capital bootsuckers) maybe analyze why it made you mad.
Unruffled is clearly correct here. What's the issue?
the fact that there exist people in first-world countries who aren't like the guy in the meme means you can't make jokes at the expense of people who are like the guy in the meme? nah dude, this admin removed the post in order to make their own political statement, it had nothing to do with the relevance of the post
If you can't read then yeah sure I guess
No they most certainly are not - if I list the traits of a specific person, and you get angry that I'm generalising because you share 1 of the list of traits, you are wrong. I am not generalising, I am describing someone who isn't you.
