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

Not to get into the semantics, but isn’t South Africa in the “western” sphere of influence?
Technically the “Anglosphere” too but we know what that really means
Don’t they speak fucking Dutch?
No lol. We have 11 official languages (12 including sign language). isiZulu is the most spoken language at home, and English is basically the lingua franca.
Afrikaans (which is based off of Dutch) is spoken by 14% of the population. Another interesting thing to note here is that the majority of Afrikaans speakers are non white, in the coloured community (not a racial slur in South Africa, it's a culture/ethnicity). Afrikaans was the official language of the government during apartheid though.
