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

Whenever I've seen a person say they got banned from hexbear unfairly I check the modlog and they were repeatedly saying something racist or transphobic. It's every single time lmao
I asked for an example of Hexbear defending Trump but they owned me with downvotes
When Democrats blatantly work with Republicans, or roll over when the Republicans push even slightly: It's fine, that's just politics
When a fringe internet forum isn't as critical of the Orange Man as liberal media is, and also criticizes Biden: They're secretly right wing Trump supporters
When Joe Biden stands up in front of a joint session of congress for his inaugural state of the union address and declares we need to fund the police, then diverts Covid funding to the police in the middle of a pandemic which cost over a million lives, that isn't authoritarianism. When communists say genocidaires deserve to be minced like an onion, THAT is authoritarianism.
I've openly argued for the decapitation of trump, I will not take this slander
wow so lenient
you must love him
and they definitely do this
Imagine debating with the peasants instead of just flinging them in to the moat iwth a catapult while taking big sloppy bites out of your giant leg of something and spilling ale from your gem encrusted chalice.
I can't tell if this is just projection or if we really come across this way. I know some users get mad and have some snarky repartee and our emoji game is legendary, but I feel like every time I remember these libs showing up they were given real arguments when asked. I dunno if there's any point to caring and trying harder, maybe agony arguing at all is too much for these guys. It just makes me nervous.
It's just the snarky
users getting mad because they never tried to engage in good faith and rightly got pigpoopballsed.
Nah, it's very much them editorializing to leave out the parts where they were invariably explained the error of their thinking and then proceeded to double and triple down. Our loveable and indispensable nerds love explaining historical and theoretical things to people
They dismiss the real arguments because we also call them a fucking idiot in the same comment and they believe that makes it an ad hominem attack.
Edit: This is not meant to suggest that I will or we should stop calling them fucking idiots. They are fucking idiots, and such fucking idiots they don't even know how ad hominem arguments work.
