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

My father actually works in a secretive US Government position, in a "very actually hush hush" type of job.

My mother-in-law worked in a similar position. It's fucking hilarious because if I'm around at a family thing at all and politics gets brought up, she's all like "we don't talk about that stuff, hush!" Because she knows I'll say something. The family knows I'm "left-leaning" but most don't know just how far to the left.

But meanwhile, if she's around just her daughter, my actually gay wife(MiL doesn't know she's bi) my MiL will just be like "I think the gays shouldn't exist and trans people should get it worse."
