the_dunk_tank
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

It has been 3 days since I wrote this comment about how much disdain I have for people who preface their dogshit opinions with "i'M a LeFtIsT". Fuck these people.
When anyone says they’re “left leaning” it’s always major 🚩🚩🚩for whatever they say next. Same as “I’m not racist, but”
It's meant to justify their shitty opinion by prefacing it with what they think cements their moral superiority.
Basically shouting "don't bother to challenge my stance because you know I will not argue in good faith".
A lot of the time it's pick me shit, trying to be like ”I lean left but that doesn't mean I don't have common sense!”
bootlicking "I would love my child to get body slammed if they didn't listen to the government hired murderer"
AAVE mimicking - literal 4chan/pol/ behavior below
I’ve talked to people on reddit who claim “I’m really a liberal, but I can’t vote for democrats because the party administration is too bad!” and then say things like “DeSantis is fantastic”. Oh.
