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 am a Democrat, but I will say that my moderate Republican friends are a lot easier to political discussions with than my further left friends (I have one communist friend who is an exception, because he owns up to the fact that he is unhinged). I actually agree more with my progressive friends than my Republican friends. But when I do disagree with my progressive friends, they become unpleasant.

Anyone want to place bets on why those friends are quote unquote "becoming unpleasant"?

he owns up to the fact that he is unhinged

a coward and a liberal

not sure we should accept the neoliberal's framing here at face value. "owns up to the fact the he is unhinged" could mean he openly and honestly advocates for a position that the author here finds unhinged. i'm picturing something like

soviet-chad uncritical support for the democratic people's republic of korea and its struggle against the genocidal imperialist occupiers

maybe-later-honey that's completely unhinged

soviet-chad sure, and you are deeply unserious

This user is an annoying zionist is my bet.
