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

I talked to an old German man in Argentina and he really aged out clearly how amazing the Nazis were (hexbear.net)

Almost all my family and relatives (anti communist or indifferent) will say that, yes, the US has improved our material conditions, but we traded our souls for it. In the US there's no community, no events, can't even operate a store on your property, everything is far, no vacations, too much crime and shootings (perceived or real), education and medicine are absurdly expensive. They likely won't want to go back to living in a home with no modern plumbing and a job that pays a few hundred dollars a month, but I would hardly say their "love" for the US is based on anything other than better pay and anti Chinese sentiment. It's also absurd when I meet people who survived the war (as a civilian), lived in Vietnam in the aftermath, then moved to the US some time later, and they call Joe Biden and the liberals communists.
