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

educated PMC socialists: (smug anime villain voice) "Oh! You've reproduced neoliberal ideology in your twitter thread?? This is so beyond parody ho ho ho. Imagine being someone as uncouth and unvirtuous as you, I almost feel sorry for you for being so ignorant and unwashed in your public ideology"

random woman: "I'm just living my life trying to figure out how to build community without wreckers ruining our politic's project, here's an analogy (based from my lived experience as a subject of neoliberalism)"

...

I started feeling sorry for Forster, a non-famous person who was undoubtedly the day’s (that morning’s) Twitter main character. But then something struck me, and that something was Forster’s Twitter display name. It is not Miriam Forster. It is, I cannot emphasize this enough: “SHARK BOOK OUT NOW.” In all-caps.

The only way Forster’s thread makes sense is if it’s an anti-abortion psy-op. But I suspect that’s too interesting, and that the whole thing really was just about moving merch, merch being the shark books.

conspiratorial Fox News boomer paranoia of "the only reason you're being an activist is to sell products" on a PMC screed? How unexpected to see the reflex use of deadeyed instrumental rationality from that class! It's almost like these white people are completely aware they have no real core to any of their beliefs except cynical knee-jerk clout chasing to exploit current news stories for individual gain...their attempt to dunk on OP proved they were 100% correct :wonder-who-thats-for:

https://twitter.com/MiriamForster/status/1472635173103554567

that twitter user made a historical materialist 101 claim about the "social contract" which white women have been trained by society into, leading them to treat activism like it's a trendy social club that awards people for having all the correct fashionable signifiers. I can imagine the detriments of that hegemony chasing behavior ("characterless opportunism" of the PMC as comrade Amber described...probably just a coincidence this radlib is so triggered by criticism of the incentivized behavior of their Liz Warren voting wrecker coworkers! https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2019/11/the-characterless-opportunism-of-the-managerial-class/)

I guess there's nothing more offensive to the PMC than being told to shut up and stop lecturing, they HATE that one Kendrick Lamar song Humble
