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

it's so weird to me how these types of people have absolutely no idea what they're talking about yet still do it all the fucking time. Why don't they just go talk about video games or whatever else it is they like to do?
I fully, 100% expect their takes on video games to be incredibly shit as well.
Those are usually either the obnoxious quartering fans and/or obsessive minmaxer mechanoids which actively ruin games by spamming devs non stop 24/7 with their shit ideas untill devs cave in.
Because they think they're smart
Smart people discuss politics
And of course, smart people always start political discussions with links to Wikipedia
Dunning-kruger effect. The most ignorant like being very vocal, most do really just go and talk about video games.
The synthesis is that there are those who unironically think video games are political theory. I've had someone (IRL but talks about reddit all the time) explain to me how Bioshock proves that far left and far right are equally bad. What the fuck is up with libs and fiction? They just take it all at face value and do zero critical analysis.
The series does claim this, repeatedly. Andrew Ryan is a libertarian dumbfuck and evil. Fontaine is a fascist and evil. The unions are gullible rubes that Fontaine uses to gain power for himself. Bioshock 2's villain is, IIRC, supposed to be communist. Bioshock Infinite shows an apartheid state to be evil, but then shows that the revolution that overthrows this apartheid is actually worse.
It is deep. Underwater.
That's why the last one was the worst, no depth, very shallow folks
I remember zapping bozos
