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

Good point, where's the extreme liberalism calling for the murder of the homeless? Execution of all the orcs? Etc etc etc. Doesn't exist because it's not a measure of extreme rhetoric but "anyone saying mean things that want to change the status quo or do anti-imperialism".
You're a hack Dick Rogers.
The best part about it is that the peer reviewers also won't know what any of this stuff is despite being 'experts' and thus will let it slide out the rectum of article writing.
I know I shouldn't really talk about this but I almost got kicked off my school's undergrad peer review council for rejecting too many papers because I had the audacity to actually check and read their source material which, hey surprise, more often than not didn't say what they said it said, or even contradicted what they said. I think one of the last straws when they told me to knock it off was when I had remembered reading an article that was basically the same research project, published a month before the paper was written, but was uncited by the paper as a contradictory study, despite complete relevance.
They were like 'they don't have to have every journal article possible in there' and I was like 'come on they didn't even bother to check for recent background studies, who knows what other older ones they missed, they probably didn't even consult a librarian.' After that I just decided, fuck it, if they don't care, I won't care either.
I think it does show how censored leftists are on mainstream websites where anything even remotely violent gets removed while right wingers can call for homeless getting hanged and it gets a pass. But it's presenting it backwards: Hexbear is "violent" because Hexbear's the only site where leftists are allowed to advocate self-defense and action against oppressors.
