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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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 nine year old watched the debate and turned to me and said, "How can an election held in such an atmosphere of class conflicts, class enmity, and pressure brought to bear on the electors by the capitalists be called altogether free and altogether democratic? This debate is a farce. Only in a nation where there are no capitalists and no landlords—and, consequently, no pressure exerted by propertied classes—may there be an atmosphere of collaboration between the workers, the peasants, and the intelligentsia, free of pressure distorting their will."

Fun fact he's 25 here
