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

these headlines are just to make libs go

so-true

"See, even the conservatives want him gone! This is a respectable opposition which I'd be glad to reach over the aisle for!" and then either ignore when these exact same people want to like, completely destroy social security and abolish food stamps and thus kill millions of poor people, or go "Sure, we can do that, if you vote for our bill to make it easier for black Americans in low-income neighbourhoods (who fulfil a set of critera for which only about 5 people in the entire country qualify for) get 10% off their university loans for the next year!" and then they refuse and they go "Well, we tried, we're voting to gut social security anyway because we can take the high road and agree to compromises!"

right?
