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

libel laws have such a weird amount of variation by country
amerikkka: you can say anything about anyone and as long as you don't have a lot to gain from it and a vault of evidence that you knew you were lying, it's fine
ukkk: if you say disparaging stuff you sure better be able to prove that it's not just rhetoric.
japan: you cannot say provably true things about other people if it looks bad for them, even if the true things are about how they've hurt others.
i agree with other posters that
could have and should have taken ownership of the sun and the daily mail for what they did to him.
