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.

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 guess the conditions for balkanization of the US has nothing to do with domestic problems, but with Trump working with Putin to destroy the nation from within. 
It's reflective in their propaganda too, every enemy the US has drummed up in the media (like Castro, etc.) are singled out as the big bad guys, they always say "if we kill this one dude, everything will be fine! Everyone wil have freedom! Trust us!"
The assumption seems to be that the death of a "big bad guy" will invariably lead to a US-backed colour revolution, and "everything being fine" is just code for "US businesses can buy up everything for pennies and the treats will flow better!"
