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

tankies are out of touch with reality. by the way, if someone I didn't like stated a clear fact, I would rather reflexively rebuff base reality than hand it to them smuglord

LOL liberals should know that we can trick their ilk into doing whatthefuckever just by quietly nudging them to do the opposite. They can know all about it because they can't possibly change it. Given the way anticommunist neoliberalism has been structured, it's inherent to their survival.

Be worried. Not about me, not this site but whoever ultimately decides to use Contradiction as a weapon the way we've always wanted to. We've been sitting around for 30 years just studying and scheming, and your side isn't built for what's coming. You willingly enslave yourself in a game of opposites, where you can't take your eyes off the Enemy or lose sight of your whole identity. We don't have that problem - we have the key to humanity which youve sunk billions of agency dollars just to replicate.

We'll feign weakness to relax your confidence. We'll feign strength when you're at your tensest. We'll point one way, then the opposite, and when your guns are trained on both paths we'll disappear down a third one. You spend billions on the scientific study of how we beat you, because it keeps happening when you fight us, and all you can come up with is "Dangerous propaganda" and "Unexpected maneuvers". You'll never win the game of opposites because your whole goal is to stand in opposition to us. We are ghosts with the power to take physical form, or else haunt you forever.
