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

MODERATORS
this is the truth of it
they believe they are the adults in the room, and anyone to their left must be delusional or childish etc
no wealthy and influential Democrat could ever think in this way, so you must be terrible people or 'utopian' etc
Liberals have a hard time understanding that two groups of people could have conflicting interests is how I mainly see it. They see conflict as a personal moral failure rather than situations people are sorted into.
Capitalist and worker, colonizers and indigenous people, profit and the environment. To a liberal these aren't fundamentally unsolvable problems based of contradiction, but rather situations that can always be mended through...I don't know, raising awareness. Putting a cute sign in your yard.
