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

Nobody actually fucking changes minds with "internet debates", especially with bozos like this who have a Ben Shapiro complex that makes their sole goal to DESTROY you with FACTS and LOGIC, no matter how wrong they are in the process.

Either he's stupid and doesn't know this, or he knows this to be the truth and is just doing a half-assed attempt to convince you to entertain his shitty ideas.

Block that motherfucker for your own sanity.

There's a certain kind of person that can be reached, but it has to be a leftist type that fell for liberal bullshit temporarily. I feel like I've been solidly left since I became politically literate, but I fully admit I got sucked up in the Obama years at least for a bit. It didn't take long to realize I was being silly with "harm reduction" and through enough people being flippant with me online back then, I snapped out of it
