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

Weren't Yoda's failures and blindness to what was happening around him part of the reason the empire came to be in the first place? He was too weak to stop Palpatine

This is literally the same analogy as that "Biden is like Hindenburg" lib from yesterday, who was seemingly unaware that Hindenburg was democratically elected and yet was unable to prevent Hitler from coming to power anyway...

unable to prevent Hitler from coming to power

Weird way to spell "appointed him chancellor".

He was literally the worst jedi leader ever, not only his sat on the council so long he was even titled "grandmaster" (basically a time-based coup), and his overall blind dogmatist position and strings of particularly bad decisions are responsible for most of the order's decline and fall. Again, it was happening over centuries.

It was, which is why The Last Jedi had Luke trying to correct the faults of the Jedi, except the movie half-assed it just like every other cowardly decision made in that movie.
