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

Sabine's heel turn has been really discouraging. I think her commentary on the stagnation of progress in physics has been influential and important. And while she's definitely riding the Contrarian wave with her science communication videos, they are often a really good supplements to new science stories in mainstream media, going into much more depth.
She's now on the classic Intellectual Dark Web glide path, which starts with producing commentary about wider social issues, and in the process just regurgitating the same reactionary shit that gets clicks. The algo with reward her, and she'll just coast into screeds about whatever weird reactionary niche ends up speaking to her heart.
It started even earlier when she joined a right wing Twitter mob against Wikipedia. Reactionaries were making a fuss about Wikipedia funding lib anti-racism things and told Sabine Hossenfelder. She then immediately tweeted that this was unacceptable and she disavows Wikipedia etc. etc. If she really cared so much about the scientific method, she wouldn't have just immediately agreed with reactionaries about Wikipedia. She also would have better criticism of Wikipedia.
