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
I don't see the problem with changing your views.
This isn't about a person changing views really. It's more that this worldview is not internally consistent
One might even say there are internal contradictions in the capitalist mode of production and attached ideology, such that capitalism sows the seeds of its own collapse
dang you could write a whole ass book of takes like this
If someone hasn't even thought through their view on a basic level like "what does a company firing someone over speech say about free speech," they should not be "vehemently" weighing in on the issue in the first place.
Would he have changed his views if the person in question was a rightwing psycho?
But in this context, they get dunked.
