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

“ • 10h ago If you see all politics as a power struggle between two sides, then someone who tells you you're not giving the other side enough credit must secretly support that side beneath the surface. Like when a liberal organization like the ACLU defends Nazis' first amendment rights.

My response would be that I don't trust a society that eschews the pluralistic debate step to actually end up with the right norms. If you're on the left and worried about Nazis, you should be just as worried about McCarthyism locking your own views out of the system.

As a wise man once said, the shape of our democracy is the issue that affects every other issue”

IMAGINE sincere Pete posting in 2024. These people have lost the plot.
