THIS! real life IS complicated. I absolutely buy that. BUT if you just say it’s complicated and then don’t do a deeper analysis, you’re actually saying “I don’t understand it, and I don’t want to, but I’m going to object to what other people are saying without an understanding of my own.”

It’s like the homelessness thing. Homes outnumber the unhoused. And people say “you can’t just give everyone a place to live! what about _____case?”

And it’s the same sort of thing. “Ok, you’re right. There’s a lot more detail we can get into. So, to start, let’s put the 75% of people it will work for into a home, and then we can discuss support and solutions for the other 25%, including medical care and rehabilitative programs!”

“ugh. never mind.”

Create post

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
