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

When you use so many micro aggressions in one post that it becomes macro aggression

I'm just so tired of hearing how every corner of the earth in some kind of abnormally high crime wave.

India's in a crime wave. London is in a crime wave. Peoria, Illinois is in a crime wave. I am once again begging to live in the world these people think we live in, where everyone has an utter contempt for civil law and they're all doing crimes all the time with impunity.

They heard that someone from the next town over knew someone that might've had their catalytic converter stolen. Bam, crime wave.

Someone once accused me of shoplifting from the store, though in reality i forgot my reusable bags in the car and just walked away with my stuff in my hands after using the self checkout. You could see the receipt in my fingers. Insanely racist country.
