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

He claims what he is proposing is "less morally questionable" yet in the very next line he states he wants something "truly horrible" and "evil itself." morshupls

There's a writer called John C Wright and you can read the narrowing of the Basinga's hope for the future from libertarian hyper optimism and pretensions to godhood, to vaguely tradcath "we're all part of a Noosphere communion of all humanity but everyone is somehow still in capitalist patriarchy 200,000 years from now" to "The future will be exactly like today but with bigger guns."

That's a common "singularity" nerd rapture fantasy: that the future would involve immortality and superpowers but not be "woke" in any scary way (unless they can sexually fetishize it, maybe).

It's just so shocking how they went from "Jupiter Brains! Entirely new non-neurotypical ways of mind! Complete and total gender and Morphological freedom! Spend a year as a Tree for tax reasons! To "I only suck the blood of the young from women because to do it from the same gender is woke actually"
