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

This is the culmination of the liberal "both sides" thing. It's the chickens come home to roost. Liberals have spent decades now convincing themselves the Soviets and the Nazis were the same thing, but to the ones who wanted to be nuanced or seem smart would always say the Soviets were worse. Libs are so far up their own butt with acting like tortured geniuses, beset by a complicated world full of nuance. "Oh to be struck in a situation where I must collaborate with monsters. I have been forced by nuance into this SS uniform I chose to wear and I know what it represents."

However there can be nuance for anything associated with Russia. Liberals view Russia as a unique abyss in human history. It's Nyarlathotep himself, inconceivable and impossible to negotiate with. It's always bad in every single historical event, even when it's seemingly doing something good, it's still bad. That's the conclusion they've spun themselves into believing
