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

My favorite is when they say “I know Republicans are worse in every way but Democrats can’t solve a decades old issue in another part of the world so I’m just not going to vote and let Republicans win”

Ah the good old "it's not Biden's fault that there's a genocide going on"

My favorite has to be this one comment :

far left: works in theory, but has never worked in practice. far right: has worked for as long as empires have existed.

I'm not even sure I 100% understand what they are trying to say since the empires he is probably talking about don't exist anymore (unless he is aware of the US one).

seeing the "works in theory, not in practice" argument in the year of our lord 2024 after being in my cosy Hexbear+literature bubble is like being a quantum physicist writing groundbreaking papers on chromodynamics and only talking to his colleagues about the latest theories and developments and then walking down the street and hearing a guy explaining to his friend that he thinks the world is made of fire, air, earth, and water
