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'll give them the benefit of doubt because this is where I was once about Revolution. I believed in peaceful revolution because I was blind to the scale and responsibility of the violence all around me. I still believe that a successful revolution should be in large part peaceful, but I also know that won't happen unless those in power are pacified, since they won't go peacefully.

More importantly though, the sick, disabled, and poor don't need to loose access to medicine and social assistance. Isn't that part of the point of building a dual power? Of joining an org and engaging in direct action? How are revolutionaries supposed to govern, facilitate the distribution of resources, and all the other things if they aren't already doing so before?
