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

I legit don't understand why the director of the CIA personally protected the guys in LA and SD prior to 9/11. His own agents tried to warn the rest of the government about the potential of plane hijackings by them, but their report wasn't allowed to be sent until it was 1.5 years too late (source: blowback season 4 ep 6 ground zeroes at around 36 minutes and 51 minutes)

Too much money to be made destabilizing the Middle East to stop it.

Idk if this is a tinfoil hat take.

Prolly was thinking they were doing cool anti usa-enemy terrorism instead of horrible anti-usa terrorism, and then was covering their own ass?
