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

Yawn 
"hey, hey, lbj, how many kids did you kill today"
Famous progressive sentiment
Came here to make sure this was posted.
Honestly pretty funny bit though. Drop a horrible hot take and then lock the replies when you get mad that people call you out on your horrible hot take. I think I might steal that bit idea
Felix is maulding that he didn't come up with this first.
That bit would probably be infamous
Their most infamous bit is actually the fact that there is no bit in the name
Revisionism
Most people get caught up in the drama of the replies, it take a true visionary to drop a horrendous steamer and then just walk out of the room. Be that visionary.
Sr. Fellow @ManhattanInst Sen. Portman chief economist (2011-17), DC think tanker (2001-11), budget policy for 4 prez campaigns. Independent. Tweets mine.🏳️🌈
When an economist opens their mouth, everyone should be legally required to scream at them until they shut up. An endless chorus of screams like a Ligeti composition which only grows as more people hear it.
everyone has to harmonize their voices so the economist explodes like in cube 3
It should be physically loud enough that it's like diving with sperm whales. All of society coming together for a psychic attack strong enough to rupture organs.
I appreciate you three, carry on.
budget policy for 4 prez campaigns
aka money laundering
And a manhattan institute sicko at that
That people like this have any influence in DC should be a sign to baby leftists that reforming from the inside is damn near impossible when even the outer circles of Washington are full of people like this.

god fucking dammit is the cheese emoji a political thing now? is this another one i gotta worry about? has the cheese slice been bastardized?
(this person could also be a wisconsinite, i hope that is the case i don't want cheese dog whistles)
His page on the Manhattan Institute says he has a bachelor’s degree in economics and political science from the University of Wisconsin, so he could be a Wisconsinite.
a wisconsinite with a poli-sci AND econ degree???
thats it. im now pro-gulag
Only now? 😞
we all must go through our abolitionist struggles
but in the cheese caves would make a funny bit
I only know LBJ from his part in helping install the military dictatorship in Brazil. What else did he do?
he happened to be the one in office when the Civil Rights Act was passed here in the USA, so we ("progressives" in general) are expected to treat him like a Good Guy
he also started US involvement in the vietnam war because he was a huge anticommunist piece of shit
he got harassed daily by crowds of people outside the white house chanting "hey hey LBJ how many kids did you kill today" because of that
started US involvement
shouldn't let off Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy on involvement in Vietnam
Yeah he certainly ramped up the war (he didn't want his brain splattered on a car like his predecessor) but yeah the US was actually involved since the french Indochina war
ah crap I always thought LBJ was LeBron James.
