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 think it's flimsy compared to simply making public office less appealing to people who want to be rich. It's one of the few places where I think Plato was on to something, minus the caste part.
Honestly I like it as an idea, I have no idea how you'd make it work in practice, but I find the idea of "anyone could become an official, so everyone needs to be educated to a high standard" appealing. I like the idea of a society that greatly values education, and I like the idea of the people being ready and capable to take on an important role whenever required? Practicality? I could see it working for devolved government dealing with local issues, but higher levels of organization probably wouldn't work well.
