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

It's the only time when rephrasing what someone said isn't a critical listening skill and incredibly persuasive. If you're already digging your feet into the dirt, doubling down on your own morality, every discussion feels like an attack.
"What if the homeless man is responding to systemic pressures that aren't obvious to you?"
"What if other ways of organizing society could be beneficial?"
"Have you ever considered why you value the rules so much?"
Any of these could shine a light into often unobserved assumptions. But if you entrench yourself you lose out on the chance to learn. You could very well look at it and decide that you are a stinky stinky lib, but even then you'd stop being a slave to fate because you're at least making the conscious choice to be a class traitor ~~and a moron~~.
