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

Guys I went to a revolutionary war museum in America and it was nothing but blatant anti-English propaganda! Heavily lacking in nuance, no talk of the bad things Americans did to the crown.

Americans CLAIM to respect property but then they went and STOLE the WHOLE COUNTRY from the king! And act like they're the victims!!

Great part about this comparison is the self-mythologizing about the Revolutionary War about how our brilliant minutemen were hiding in trees and ambushing British soldiers.

It’s only smart and cunning when we do it

A side note but it was immensely funny to me to discover the British call it a civil war instead, lol

The Revolutionary War was really similar in many aspects to 1861-1865, except rebels won, and this is the only reason it isn't usually called a civil war.

Also, first casualty of it was a black man. Both literally and metaphorically.
