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
Every time I block one of these channels, ten more rise up to take its place 
It’s a cyclical thing. Back in the 90’s it was the Howard Stern conservatives who thought the libs were coming for their cigarettes, high flow toilets and in-ground pools and ruin their vibe. The rugged individualism facade that American conservatism puts on is really good at convincing those types that conservatism is the party time ideology that wants to deregulate their treats. It continues until the cultural conservatives gain the upper hand and then they realize again, oh these people want to control others.
Like a perpetual game of peekaboo with a toddler that hasn't developed object permanence, every other decade or so centrists and liberals forget that conservatives are really just fascists in everything but name.
