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.

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

Nonetheless, the phenomenon is undoubtedly global. Wherever you go, it is hard to escape social-justice warriors. World police, indeed.

Like all The Economist articles, this has such little substance to it.

Lmao at their recent anti-China headlines on their main page xi :

What do they mean by "woke mind virus"?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They briefly define it at the start.

The term refers to a loose constellation of ideas that have changed how educated, left-leaning folk view the world. It says all disparities between racial groups are proof of structural racism; that norms of free speech, individualism and universalism are camouflage for discrimination; and that injustice will persist until systems of privilege are dismantled.

It's the same as when that judge tried to get the Ron DeSantis administration to define woke. They defined it as something like "a belief in structural discrimination and a call to change it." They mean any and all belief in structural oppression. The opposite of wokeness is believing everything's fine except a few scattered individuals.

It says all disparities between racial groups are proof of structural racism

If you don’t believe this then you believe disparities between racial groups are caused by genetic or cultural inferiority. The racists are ashamed to say they are racists out loud, but it’s clearly implied by what they don’t say

The way they'd phrase it is they believe disparities come from individual acts of racism. Separate, atomized racists all acting without connection to one another. And also without connection to networks of authority, because liberals don't believe distinct economic class authority exists.

But when you push liberals further, that's when they'll start talking about cultural inferiority
