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

If is useful for revealing the rot in the system though

Nothing wrong with being old but if 30% of the government barely fuckin alive we got a problem

I’ve been seeing posts from libertarians and CATO institute on it multiple times in the last week. It’s a distraction.

As there are younger people in power.. and they are ghouls too, mostly.

We'd be stupid not to jump in and dunk along with them. Yes, Biden or McConnell being old isn't the problem, if they were gone the political establishment would find young people with just about the same ideals. But even to the most grillpilled boomer that doesn't really care to admit there are huge problems with American politics, pointing out that a huge portion of American politicians are senile is enough to get people saying, "hold on, something's off." It's an important agitation tool.

I’m not going to attack people for the wrong reason.

Boomers are fine with nothing changing. America as far as they are concerned has been static for 2 decades.
