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

Do they consider the abstract artists who were backed by the CIA art? That's really the main thing this makes me curious about.

What is "bulletproof coffee"? Is it just some fascist coffee company or something else?

The only real difference between good art and bad art, if there is such a distinction, is whether the art is revolutionary or reactionary. Art that serves revolutionary politics is good while art that wallows in some reactionary nonsense is bad. It's quite telling that values has to either be hinted at or mocked, leaving little room for openly politicized art. Could it be that this loser has reactionary ideas but understands that those reactionary ideas can't be openly expressed so they must be hinted at?

ART CANNOT BE QUANTIFIED. Whatever joyless turd made this chart needs their soul examined.

A lot of the bad column describes Nier Automata

(But in a good way? Art is supposed to be many things; provocative and thought inducing as expression of the human condition is worth remembering.)

Some art is very good but as a person that wants to be happy I don't really like sad stories that are also good.

Can you think of art that made you cry but appreciated it's introduction to your life?

I wonder how this guy feels about David Lynch

Fuming with rage as he watches Lost Highway:

"This is a malevolent, bad map!"

Put me down under whining, coping, and seething
