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

True believers in the current status quo, of superiority of the west, nationalists, as well as being privileged under the current economic system (or thinking they are), knowing it and acting to enforce those privileges. The kind of person to support the conquest of new colonies in 1870, to support WW1 in the 1910s, to think Hitler would be a useful ally against communism in 1940, to openly admire figures like Kissinger or Reagan, to support the Iraq War, wanting the west to nuke Moscow etc.
They're all going to become openly right wing in probably not that many years, but they don't want to be seen as right wing now. They're not nationalists after all (they're patriots), they're democrats - wanting the government to rule responsibly over the unwashed ignorant masses who they feel so superior to.
