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
Are there not any fucking right wingers in the US that see both parties pretending to cater directly to them or more specifically any more upper-class dipshits that actually are getting pandered to, who are like "hell yeah, i'm winning right now, i'm the bell of the ball right now" or is everyone trying to out-soy each other in how they're the most persecuted and misunderstood?
I'm still baking this hypothesis, but I think that the way that the American civil religion metabolized the Civil Rights movement gave half the people in this country a persecution fetish. Even the richest, privilegedest, most winningest people feel like they're being persecuted all the time because they are actively projecting themselves into the almost saintlike role of the prosecuted minority.
The actual capitalist class who fund their campaigns, presumably.
