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

lol no, they're out-and-proud technocrats. They're self-described anti-populists who think the unwashed masses are too stupid to know what's good for them and need to be ruled by their betters (read: people whose parents had the money and connections to get them into Ivy League schools)
"Democracy" is the bludgeon they use to beat the masses into submission when they need to clear room for bourgeois interests.
Whenever democracy is put into practice, they'll bend over backwards to call it any other name like "mob rule," "cult of personality," or "authoritarianism"
Notice how Ukraine went from "corrupt kleptocracy" to "European democracy" when it was necessary to whip up support for US interests in the region.
