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

To a certain extent this is true, but less so a political ideology and more "Isolated person who is terminally online" which happens to have a 1-1 overlap with both communists and fascists.

Let's be honest, well-adjusted people are not playing HellTaker and DDLC despite them being very good games. Most people play FO:NV once or twice and think it's pretty good. They don't install 500+ mods to try to escape from the meaninglessness of existing in a society in which you can neither influence nor find comfort in. It's just an unfortunate shared characteristic between us the far-right wing.

If most people on Hexbear had a safe existence, happy childhood, and meaningful social life then they would not be here.

Come to think of it, yeah.

I cannot believe I was ever actually afraid of these people. Maybe they're only a threat because they outnumber us by the millions (never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups), but individually they're losers. Even the stereotypical right-wing bodybuilder, I have a cousin that fits the bill but he's your run of the mill republican rather than an outright fash.
