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

rat-salute-2 for every "lol, blocked" LIB there's a lib taking a step back to rethink their world view, even if just a little.

I’m just posting what I think would have worked on me when I was an imperial core labor aristocratic lib.

Yeah, if someone actively provides information and understanding, and "their team" responds with "Ugh! No! Bad! You blocked!" then they'll think about whether "their team" are really the "good guys" that they've imagined their whole lives. (and then hopefully will begin to assess whether the whole "good guy team vs bad guy team" idea that libs have is fundamentally flawed.
