the_dunk_tank
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

US propaganda is too good. You can have all the facts and evidence in the world, but we've all been raised since birth under this cloud of indoctrination to the point that it's very difficult to accept things way out of the mainsteam political discourse. It sounds as batshit to hear that there was no massacre at Tiannemen Square as it does that the moon landings were faked, and moon landing people can cite sources too. The difference is that if you investigate, which most people wont do because it feels like a waste of time, the former is true and the latter is BS.
It takes effort to convince people that real conspiracies are real because we've been taught to spot cobspiracy theories that arent and have been taught not to investigate things that don't feel truthy.
