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

Some people really believe their own kool-aid. One of my good Chinese buddies always calls himself a slave in a feudal state. Dude owns his own house fully, has a wife and three kids, has land that he plants food on, makes frequent trips into the city to have fun with friends, has a new gaming laptop every year. He works hard, for sure. But he has so many privileges that it hurts to see how down he is on his life. He is basically living “the American dream” already. And like Carlin said, it’s called a dream because you’d have to be asleep to believe it. Sometimes he brings up these migrants as if they’d only come here if they could succeed here. I don’t want to show him this article because it’s just too much for him to handle and I know he’d go off on a rant about China again.
