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 [email protected]

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

MODERATORS
 

Meanwhile, in America, a drug manufacturer sold tainted eye-drops that killed and seriously maimed people, and not one exec has faced consequences. There's barely been any media scrutiny, just boilerplate articles that refuse to name names or even attempt to explain what the fuck went wrong. As for the FDA, I've given up on them. They're fucking useless.

I'm against the death penalty, but at the same time I can't stand lib orgs like Amnesty who screech about how DYsTOPiAn the death penalty is in China when we have the exact same system here in the States except worse because it targets poor and non-white people exclusively.

Pretty soon it'll be illegal to sue corporations. I give it five years, maybe less given how reactionary the Supreme Court is.

Pretty soon corporations will be suing random commenters on the internet for defamation whenever they say anything negative about them

Except they already do that now. Companies have abused the legal system to go after negative Yelp and Glassdoor reviews.

Abused? Working as intended

How much is it to found a company in Delaware and how many do I have to found to get 50%+1 of the vote?

Didn't some oil company have a lawyer sent to jail for the crime of winning a case against them?
