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

Friendly reminder that Obama "evolved" on gay marriage after a 5-4 ruling by unelected people in robes made his opinion irrelevant.

...Destroyed Libya, helped Saudi Arabia destroy Yemen, helped put down Occupy Wall Street, made sure that not a single wealthy person involved with the 2008 financial crisis faced criminal charges, made sure that the non-rich people affected by the 2008 financial crash lost their houses for the benefit of the financial sector...

No investigations.

No indictments.

Class personified, sure, but which class?

The amount of rich people I used to know that had framed Obama picture or the hope poster was to damn high. I categorize that in the same box as maga extremists.

the_dunk_tank is where anything shitty gets posted (usually liberal takes) for socialists who like self harm to read and receive psychic damage. This is posted in the dunk tank right now.
