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

Why is it always "paid agents" or "russian bots". Don't they know, in this day and age, its way more likely we're all just fucking idiots. Anyone can post anything on the internet, the US barely has to spread its own propaganda because there's about a million morons logging in and posting every day

I've noticed something libs do is that when it gets overwhelmingly clear that the USA is evil they immediately jump to the idea that China/Russia/any country on the bad list is mega super evil.

Sure, the US is the only country to have used nuclear weapons, they have invaded like half the countries in the entire world, use crippling economic sanctions to strangle ideological dissidents, deny their own citizen critical medical care if they can't afford it, are perfectly fine throwing millions onto the streets if it benefits landlords and constantly starve educational spending to further prop up their obscene military, but China... doesn't let its people use facebook?
