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

there's an inverted pyramid of conservative intelligence. at the base top you've got your think tank fellows and your corporate lobbyists, people who can technically string a sentence together. as you head deeper, you meet the libertarians, the small business owners, the militia larpers, the Qanon and facebook boomers, and finally, at the very nadir are the geek fascists. these people would throw up if they had to read a book. their beliefs are incomprehensible and inconsistent because their only guiding principle is that of a howling infant demanding milky and blanky, and to that end they've adopted the most diseased talking points and catchphrases of everyone else in the pyramid.
Eloquently put. Did a site tagline just drop?
Sure, but almost everybody else in the pyramid thinks that driving an EV transforms you into literally Pete Buttigieg, which is hardly surprising given that these people operate in a media bubble largely bankrolled by oil billionaire families. My only explanation for this so far is that the particular geek fascists behind this are raging Musk fanboi techbros.
