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

I often believe that many of these comments are unironically Russian bots lol. I’ve seen similar things the comments of local news videos. Like some guy gets arrested for something, then a random comment from a supposed liberal bringing up trump and January 6. These are either intelligence ops to create accounts with history and paper trails, or a DNC op to create accounts with history to push propaganda later

Honestly, if I was trying to manipulate online discourse to deliberately cause as much political turmoil as possible, not only would I do agitprop for the far left and far right to anger the other side, I would also make sure to post a large amount of centrist propaganda that is callously dismissive of legitimate issues and suggest that foreign manipulation is part of it. That would both piss off at least one side (depending on the issue) and cast doubt on the idea that foreign manipulation is actually even happening in the first place.

This is why some actual left-wing subreddits have a bot that autobans accounts with activity in r/PoliticalHumor

There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for liberals at this micro-instant.
