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

Bonus:

The smol bean heckin democracy puppers need autonomous death robots to protect themselves from scary authoritarians ๐Ÿฅฐ Also, bad wars is unacceptable, you need to vote to make sure we get good wars!

On one hand, unimaginable destruction of human life, on the other, lower taxes. I'm torn ๐Ÿค”

Anduril means "flame of the west".

The amount that Tolkien would HATE seeing weapons on mass death and/or surveillance take names from his work. The guy was really really not big on war

I think Palantir would piss him off the most. A spy company named after the evil mind destroying crystal balls that Sauron used to subvert Gondor and hurt Pippin?

It's really on the nose. In the greater context the palantir were neat and useful before sauron got one, where this is just mordor producing their own
