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

They're not even debate nerds. I've gone thru debatey discussions with a bunch of them, and they just end up in a circular loop or being condescending and then crying foul when you say they're being condescending.
One of their favorite phrases is "don't put words in my mouth" and "strawman" which is apparently when you quote what they say back at them.

Thanks for the correction!

I take it Inshallah doesn't make sense for past tense like this?

I was intending it like

"if that's what god wills" with a shrug and a shit eating grin

They don’t care about the truth, they just want an excuse to be self righteous

Some are very fond of calling other people "bots" while continuing to reply to those supposed bots.
