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

I do not remember believing anything particularly strongly when I was 14 o_O

I was an anti-religious dweeb due to conflating all religion with the fucked up evangelical churches my mom would drag me to and I had a copy of The Stranger that I would take every with me and try to be seen reading.

Like if I met an identical 14 year old I wouldn't think he was doomed to suck forever but I definitely wouldn't want to hear his thoughts.

the sad thing is that 14 year old was and is doing better than 90% of US voters

every 14 year old is going to believe something dumb because they only just started having their own opinions

I remembered some good sentiments, but with no correct way to enforce being supplied, and some stupid fascist programming I hadn't seen as such yet. Most of my takes were abysmal at that age, but I was at least highly feminist and had a strong but flawed anti-racism stance.

Idk, maybe a lot of mine were just suppressed or I had been so cowed that I just didn't have anything going on inside. Just agree with whoever you're talking to

I I've always been an opinionated, often contrarian ass. My evolution to leftist involved, I shit you not, Prager U ytps, because I found leftists dunked harder and better than anyone else.
