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

I was engaging in what I thought was a discussion of a nuanced policy on Olympic inclusion

It's always "nuance" with these fucking liberals

they can never explain the nuance either, they have no idea what nuance is.

Nuance is when you pander to bigots without going full blood and soil

"All you tankies want to talk about is killing all landlords, and you won't even consider the nuance. Like, my Dad is a landlord, you want to kill my Dad??"

One of the reasons these "nuanced" discussions are so toxic is that they frame any kind of deviation from the WASP social norm as a cheat-code. This goes straight back to the fucking Negro Leagues, with "nuanced" sports writers insisting that race mixing would be unfair to white athletes.

It might as well be eugenics, another zombie field that liberals cannot ever get enough of.

And much like eugenics, their claims exist completely independent of all evidence and reality.

It's like climate change or lead poisoning. Billionaires making shit up to refute conclusions from their own engineers with their surplus cash.

Six very rich guys pay a thousand men in lab coats to fashion a new mythology of Dutch Ethnic Supremacy. And then the rest of us have to argue for scraps of human dignity in front of a priesthood that just slap the Book Proving You're Not Human and saying "No, you get nothing."
