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

MODERATORS
Unironically what a lot of French people think from me arguing with them, "we just left and gave you independence" like imagine taking an L so hard you made yourself believe you actually gave away a valuable piece of land just because they were kind, in reality they fear another Algeria, people who were colonized for a 132 years but still haven't given up their identity, people who lost 1.5 million people and haven't given up their fight for freedom.
A million or so pieds noirs remigrating in France really did a number to the french consciousness (which wasn't in a great shape prior to the war)
Shit, my grandfather on my mother's side died in an ambush in Algeria, my grandfather on my father's side was a truck driver and used to see soldier's coffins when he was loading merchandise in Marseille
Algerian independence was hard fought and hard won
And by God the Palestinians will bring that upon their colonizers too.
