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

Tumblr is seemingly full of the least materialist-minded liberals you've ever seen. The entire framing of "you have to vote based on what the candidates claim to support" even if they were honest about it, is on its face a shit idea when BOTH CANDIDATES HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT, AND ONE HAS BEEN IN CONGRESS FOR 11,000 YEARS BEFORE THAT

THEY HAVE TRACK RECORDS

Liberals in general treat politics as prayer and ritual to a pantheon of polytheistic gods. You must perform the Biden voting sacrament or else the nefarious Putin will ruin this year's grape harvest.

Nate Silver is the temple's leading haruspex. When he predicted in 2012 that the volcano god would not erupt based on the entrails of a bird, he was widely applauded for being correct among the townsfolk.
