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

Honestly I think we could be a little bit more critical in our critical support to AES states but any support for them will be seen as supporting "authoritarianism" by libs. Propaganda runs deep.

Word. It's hard to stay nuanced when you're constantly beating back bad faith crap but the effort needs to be made. Sucks that it takes one sentence to scream "TANKIES" and like eight pages to explain anything real.

And bigoted and racist too, they like to say that one. Because that is what triggers liberals to censor stuff.

Edit: And even when you prove it to them, they still think you’re wrong because “they saw it”.

It would also be easier to be more critical if the USSR hadn't collapsed and we still had 2 major socialist powers instead of having to put all our current hope in China to give socialists worldwide breathing room to organize and actually have our own revolutions
