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

MODERATORS
safe in the arms of dommy moddys 
Liberals when mods use their monopoly on force to do good things andd crush freeze peach 
After witnessing the kinds of fuckers that advocate for so-called "free speech" and what it's used for, I am unironically in favour of crushing those nerds about it. And not just online, y'know how chuds are always shrieking about getting gulag'd for wrong pronoun usage? That's the system of justice I aspire to.
What does authoritarian even mean to these people?
the transgender people banned me 
Authoritarian = When countries I don't like have laws
I've never heard it described so simply, so succinctly, so beautifully
Authoritarianism is when we stop fascists from lynching trans people. Freedom is when we say "I don't agree with the fascists openly planning how to kill me but if I protest then liberals will stop supporting me so I'll just try and ignore them"
It's vibes based as usual, so something like "thing I disagree with"
I think it's just "when country I don't like". I really don't think there's anything to it at all.
They genuinely think every socialist state relies on concentration camps, including modern China.
Authoritarian is when countries try to undermine the dollar or seek alternatives
Freedom is when your country allows fascist websites and has child detention centers
That can't be it though, because the US prisons are objectively concentration camps, and these idiots love making excuses for the US
They would say every criminal deserves to be there and we need to be putting all the homeless in prisons too
It's extremely common for burgers to think that literally everyone who lives in AES countries - except for members of the ruling party - are slaves.
we are not content to just vooooote
the "authoritarians" are why we have an actual safe space for trans people here
if they don't like it they should feel free to go make their own trans space without our level of moderation and see how it goes
This, the reason i feel safer here than in most exclusively trans spaces is that the mods ban transphobes, misogynists and homophobes instead of getting into arguments why their comment wasn't hatespeechy enough and that they do not tone police marginalized people. In other places, the mods are fuckin liberals who value the free speech of my opressors over my safety and use civility fetishism to silence me. They uphold the violent, exclusionary, status quo-cementing logic of the marketplace of ideas, and will respect the interests of a cis and assimilationist majority over the safety needs of the most marginalized minorities within a community even though these minorities are most in need of protection.
Hexbear is a safer speace precisely because it is deeply and utterly illiberal.
to our authoritarian mods keeping out the chuds and the libs.
I think it's good when transphobia is made illegal and transphobes get shot in the head
Is that authoritarian or not enough
fighting off the transphobes with this one weird trick 
I'm authoritarians who're good for trans stuff
Lmao how do they not realise that it's the use of authority that makes it a good space?
Fucking idiots I swear to god. What are you gonna do in your society with all the bigots and chuds? Ask them nicely to stop? Good luck. Only fear through use of authority will terrorise them into silence and behaving correctly to lgbt people.
Jillbooted trans thugs.
Hexbear is literally just like 19⁸⁴ by George Or-Not-So-Well
I uphold TC69 thought.
