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

Controversial take:

I don't think Hinkle is grifting or anything like that. There are A LOT of Americans I've met that are angry at both ruling parties, want better and fairer economic conditions, anti-war, but can't agree with "the left" because they hate how they're constantly "censoring what people can say" and are "too politically correct"

It's like some weird tangential thing to libertarianism or anarchism where they don't want any sort of authority over them

Nah, he has connections to LaRouchites. He's definitely an op.

Yeah we’ve got his number: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Jackson_Hinkle

Tangentially, I’m surprised to learn that Adam Something has a substantial ProleWiki entry. I used to listen to him sometimes, until the Ukraine war started and he showed his true colors.

The goal of Communists, according to Hinkle, is more Capitalist enterprises.

Yeah fuck this dude
