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

I would call their mind childlike but It would be an insult to children to call chuds minds childlike.

Yeah. Ive worked with kids. Kids are much more curious and open minded then these people.

I feel the same way.

I have said "manchild" to describe people like melon-musk but I think that's a disservice to actual children who are a lot more curious, creative, earnest, and capable of learning than an aging billionaire creep is.

Honestly there isn't a child on the planet who doesn't contribute more net good to the world in a single day then Elon Musk has in his entire adult life. And I'd rather spend a whole year looking after the least pleasant children I worked with all by myself then spend 5 seconds in Musk's presence.

So yes, I agree, describing Musk as a "manchild" is an insult to children.

Some people do have negative value to society, such as derivatives managers. The person mopping the floor in the office has positive value that the derivative manager wants to nullify to public perception by lobbying and propagandizing how little worth the floor mopper is.

Similar deal with my-hero hoarding the metaphorical toys and having actual contempt for children, including his own.
