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

it is legit insane to me how widespread this particular brainworm is. like was it something being broadcast on foxnews? because this shit is legit everywhere and it makes zero sense.
This is right up there with the "eat bug live in pod" meme.
These kind of memes are extremely disgusting because it brings to light a very apparent and real issue (the collapse of material conditions largely caused by ecological decline brought on by capitalism) but then shifts the scope of blame from the actual perpetrators (the ghouls in power) to marginalized groups.
it's different sectors of capitalists pitching fits at one another is how I've interpreted it
Some types of financial ghouls want to make money from real estate or something, so some of them have proposed better urban planning, then some other sector of capitalist ghouls (probably oil or cars or manufacturing or something) have a propaganda war against them
it's all capitalists fighting each other and we're stuck in it
As far as my observation goes, citizens are a big part of the push for 15 min cities because it would increase their quality of life tenfold. Of course there's always ghouls lurking to make profit, who'll jump on everything they deem profitable, but they aren't the biggest proponents of 15 min cities.
Fox or OAN I'm not sure which one.
pretty sure tucker gave it a shoutout
