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

In this post, I saw a lot of people coming to Bad Empanada's defense, and felt like they may be uninformed about his actual positions of things, so I felt that this ought to be posted.

BadEmpada is like Mao

What do you mean? They both had good opinions and bad opinions, I am very serious and also objectively correct.

Not an argument. And since we are obviously having a very serious debate about a very serious topic, I would like for you to concede your position and admit that the only difference is that Mao wasn't an influencer debate-me-debate-me

This should be a bannable offense

I am very serious, the only difference really is that Mao isn't a youtube. Time will tell wether BadEmpada, the modern day philosopher that he is, will have any actual influence on this world and we were right to care about him or if he was just another way to get my brain to give me sweet dopamine by arguing with people online.
