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
 

Oh, wait, it's not a bit and there are dozens of them in this thread. Look at the full comments and scroll down for more blood and soil urbanists

The conservative stance is predicated on government doing little but doing the little they're supposed to do (prosecuting crime) extremely well.

remembering that time i said "If you hate cars but not capitalism, you're not thinking very clearly" in the fuckcars discord and they all got very mad at me

Anti-car people who don’t advocate for things like mass transit are my least favorite people, mostly because they’re all gentrifying yuppies who can afford to live close enough to their fake email jobs to bike/walk without having to rub elbows with us scary poors and ethnics.

What about ones who hate bikes and only want money to go to buses/trains lol? I argued with someone yesterday on my city sub railing against bike lanes because they "only benefit white males with high-paying office jobs and they're a waste of money"

Sounds like some 3rd rate fedposting you encountered

A lot of them have absolutely now idea how a rural living condition or the living conditions of less fortunate countries are

Their whole platform is akin to rich fuckboys living in Amsterdam

Gee I sure am glad police don’t side with the institutions that make interstates and car dependent infrastructure ubiquitous

I noticed this sort of thing recently when looking at Christmas decorations, specifically those ceramic Christmas village buildings you stick a light bulb in the back of to make it look like the building is lit up. It’s the most traditional, old-fashioned way to depict a proper Christmastime yet is built around an urban model (walkable town/city, small businesses, density) that conservatives don’t actually want to live in.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

A large part of conservatives kind of do? All the 50s ad (or AI generated 50s retro ad) trad conservatives keep depicting very much walkable, small towns and jerk off over them. It's just their political approach to the stated end goal goes along the line of only-throw

It sort of stems from the core issue of main character of the road symptom I think. They want to live in these quaint tradcath sundown towns except they also like big cars because bicycles are gay, which basically leaves you at an ideological dead end as to what you should do

They just want the walkable communities from the American reich in the man in the high castle

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'll make sure they live in walking distance to the pit

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Alternatively, there’s tons of walkability within the pit

Shame about the shattered spine officer-down

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

It's a pile of corpses and quicklime.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Hey they have free speech rights and are free to say that they want a nice walkable urban community in which they can watch black and brown people get bludgeoned to death by militarized fascist Stormtroopers. Censorship!!
