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

MODERATORS
OP in that thread is the epitome of "i'm as left as they come buuuuuuuuuuuuuut" worthlessness

in the course of a few hours.
"ummm actually Americans are homophobic because of foreigners sweety, and I care about LGBTQ+ rights more than you"
The fact that you can live in the USA and think the anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment is anything but homegrown (you know, like the racism) is the definition of “living under a rock”. Either that or just good ol’ American exceptionalism - “we are so amazingly progressive that it must be someone else’s fault there are bigots here.”
really gotta wonder about the "i identify as a socialist/all socialist regimes, past and present, are irredeemably evil!" folks
They support all revolutions but the ones that succeed
social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism
If anything, Republicans are the ones inspiring bigots around the world (at least in terms of tactics). There's a reason why right-wing groups in like a dozen other countries are also talking about "wokism" and "cancel culture" now.
