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

Liberals care more about words than actual reality

But he said the good words! Not like the bad orange man who says the bad words

Curiously, conservatives do too.

Really makes for a fucked up country when its all style and no substance.

We’ve had decades of basically nothing changing in western countries. Politics is just an abstract thing that we commentate on because it doesnt materially impact us. Politics happens out there in the hinterlands. People have their entire lives ruined and their families destroyed in the blink of an eye and without warning in the hinterlands. I’m not actually sure any of those people are actually real, anyway. So I will vote for the red team or the blue team depending on my aesthetic preference.

That will change of course. We are on a collision course with the laws of physics. Liberals of all stripes will ignore that though and continue to play empire.

Liberal politics is purely about aesthetics desolate
