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

I’ve been having a number of conversations on Hexchan recently trying to make sense of their politics. The most common instance of their hateful hypocrisy I’ve encountered is this constant assurance that they support trans people while immediately attacking and dog piling and trans people who point out that the situation would be much worse under Trump.

The hexchanners who aren’t actively Russian trolls seem to be little more than useful idiots for conservatives, minimizing the damage they do to vulnerable populations and engaging in high school level pettiness and hate.

It's high enough that I'll :vote: to try do some harm reduction

:LIB:

The actual harm reduction is [REDACTED] or organising an underground railroad to asylum states and from there to at least not actively trans exterminatory jurisdictions abroad, if the letter's possible at all (most nations will refuse to aknowledge that human rights abuses worse enough to grant refugee status are happening in the US, even though that's already the case in Florida, Texas or Tennessee). Doesn't mean that the genocide will not massively accelerate under Trump, and if you are not ware of this you have no meaningful place in this conversation and should just stfu about things that your cis shit ass can comfortably ignore. If you think the person you're replying to is a LIB, you better be prepared to also put your life on the line once push comes to shove or you're actually worse than him. And i mean that "put your life on the line" part literally, because that's what we're talking about here. I'm not saying you aren't, i can't judge if you're willing to fight back or to smuggle trans people out of states that will make their existence flat-out illegal, i'm obviously not asking you to fedpost here, but if you demand of my siblings in the US that they get exterminated merely because you have Biden Derangement Syndrome and not because you understand the alternatives to electoralism and what's at stake here, then go fuck yourself.
