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

These people should get some kind of medal for their logic gymnastics

  1. Be lib, your life is consumerism
  2. Encounter people doing something to respond to a genocide
  3. ?????trump?troley???bzz??????election?lever??kill?one?guy????bzzzzt?????responsibility??
  4. Why of course my fellow redditor, the people doing anything about this are immoral since they're not getting their hands dirty in the voting booth, indeed

they don’t understand that not voting is a political strategy to force democrats to actually do good things. When you think not voting is a moral failure you’re misunderstanding the fundamental philosophy of democracy (withholding your vote to ensure candidates do good things is literally the core of how democracy is supposed to work)

so how exactly do these people justify being liberals rather than revolutionary communists then. because it sounds like they’ve come to the conclusion that negative peace is a thing but are just pretending it doesn’t apply to them

Not pictured: the fact that there are actually 95 and 100 people on the tracks and that the Democrats helped sabotage any other tracks at every juncture.
