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

Why are they so fucking soft? Navigating the world and falling into shambles by being trolled with png of poopy pig balls must be pretty fucking tough.

If any of you libs visiting need someone to talk to. You can DM me. I don't know if I can help you. But, good god, hope someone can.

Well most of them live in a hegemonic cultural environment where civility is very important and the only challenges to their worldview they ever encounter are cherry picked rage bait from the Fash. They've mostly never even seriously critiqued their own views and beliefs, and have probably never been challenged in good faith and certainly not from the left. A lot of them just straight up have no experience in dealing with hostility or conflict regarding their beliefs so they default to civility policing and dismissal.

Seriously, came over here because my reddit accounts are permanently banned for calling people fucking idiots. So I came here and found out all the reddotors that left for lemmy are the same soft as babyshit civility fetishists.
