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

They wouldn't be above average if others had the opportunities they had. They know this.

Edit: one potentially positive takeaway here. I was right wing in my youth. Probably because I was indoctrinated into it. However I was always of the opinion that communism wasn't evil and was just another way of doing things. I eventually realised that capitalism was the great evil of the world and my allegiance shifted more and more left. I hope that the person the replying here is just young and hasn't yet made the great leap yet.

Communism is the most 'natural' system out there. No one would support capitalism unless they were a capitalist without gargantuan propaganda efforts.
