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

The request goes into detail in seeking internal discussions around Spirit’s efforts to create a diverse workforce “and whether those commitments are unlawful or are compromising the company’s manufacturing processes.” Paxton asked for a breakdown of Spirit’s workforce by race, sexual orientation and other factors, and whether the makeup has changed over time.

It's amazing to see how quickly these ghouls latch on to shiny new racist shit, especially when it allows them to make excuses for greed, incompetence and malfeasance. It's great for them to be able to use a vague but socially acceptable term like "woke" or "DEI" when what they really want to do is directly blame minorities for their own mistakes and bad intentions. It's a new and innovative form of I'm not a racist, but...

SJW -> woke -> DEI. What’s the average lifespan of the euphemism boom-bust cycle?

[–] EnsignRedshirt@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

It’s getting progressively shorter. In a couple of years we’ll have new euphemisms faster than they can propagate organically and we’ll need AI to largely take over the creation and distribution of bigotry.

What a fucking clown show. Not a single serious person in government. What if instead of discovering and solving our problems we apply magical thinking and blame minorities? I bet that'll work out just great.

Me ten years ago... uhh... i guess more like 17 years ago: violence is never an option we must open dialgoue with those who disagree with us and turn enemies in to friends.

Me now: we're only in this situation because Stalin was weak and lacked the conviction to do what needed to be done marx-guns-blazing

A bunch of libs told me the other day that Marx didn't really mean it when he wrote " we have no compassion and we ask none of you" when the prussian state police shut down his fucking paper. "We will make no excuses for the terror" was just him posting, he didn't mean it, he was just a little tired, he needed a nap and a snickers. Fuckers.

Yeah I'm sure it's diversity in the workplace threatening the manufacturing process. Definitely not shitty conditions, pay, and benefits.

Clearly the door was too woke and decide to leave by itself. I stg there's something in Americans' water supply that's producing these psychotic mfers.
