I love how mad gen xers get when it comes to admitting they were very privileged. They are proud of it, but also insanely mad about it.

Yeah, that’s very fair. I have a BiL and SiL who are on the tail end of gen x that definitely seem more like older millennials then they do gen x. They are my favorite family members to hang out with at this point.

Old mystery/thriller book by John D. MacDonald. ‘The Brass Cupcake.’ In the story, the hero explains that in prison slang, a ‘cupcake’ is a privilege that can be revoked at anytime by any guard. Everything under our system is a cupcake.

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
