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

Yeah but a lot of that 30-40% still fall hook, line and sinker for this shit.
Honestly I think cheap treats, (barely) functional infrastructure and the internet do a lot to cool the anger of even the poorest of the poor. The czars would probably still be in power in feudal Russia had McDonald's, Instagram and like 50% more paved roads.
McDonald's is getting more expensive tho so maybe change is on the horizon.
As Lenin said, every country is only three unhappy meals away from a revolution.
Sadly, also one Pizza Hut away from counter-revolution.
As much as I dig Lenin I've never cared for that quote. There's been plenty of places where people went without way more than three meals and didn't have a revolution.
