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
In capitalist America, in order to go to work every day you have to let the military search through your belongings. Once you pass the military checkpoint you must still be wary because there are police officers disguised as civilians hiding in the crowd.
That's the other thing. Without fail at the start of every year the local media goes on a sensationalist tear about how much crime there is on subways and how much worse it is. Usually they'll throw out percentages like "Oh a 10% increase in assault on the subway". But when they mention actual numbers, as I had last heard a couple weeks ago, we're talking about an increase from 58 to 64. On one of the largest subway systems in the world that moves 3+million people a day. We're talking about an extremely minuscule number, but if you didn't know any better you'd think the subway is an absolute war zone. Maybe put more money into cleaning up the subway and housing the homeless rather than putting more bandaid on the relatively nonexistant issue of violent crime.
It's non stop.
Just like how Chicago and New York are mad max but thenshithole red states with a violent crime rate 5x as high is "real america".
Violent crimes don't count when it's some drunk bigot looking for an excuse to "stand their ground" at the county fair.
