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

Marx was just another YA fiction writer when you get down to it. Ahead of his time, sure, but he has nothing on Rowling.

Damned if you do damned if you don’t if you’re a commie

Yeah that's basically the long and short of it. I grew up in apartments in a place that's too low to the sea level for basements, so I never got to be basement dweller, lol. Also I had to move out when I was really young. I was raised by my grandparents and they were running out of money and needed to move into a smaller apartment. I would have spent my college years on their couch without a bedroom of my own if I hadn't moved out. The total lack of privacy during the formative years of my early adult hood would have driven me crazy, so I'm glad I did it even though it resulted in me coming close to total destitution a few times.
