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 [email protected]

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 "Overton window shifting." The average Brazillian MMA fighter would be somewhere on the political spectrum between January 6th rioters and Civil War reenactors who only play Confederate soldiers.

When I look at ufc.com/rankings and pontificate (i.e. smell my own farts)

Charles Olivera - Fucking LOVES Jesus. Is a divorced dad. Trains very hard

Alex Pereira - Fucking loves kickboxing. Scariest looking man on planet Earth.

Paulo Costa - 4chan's pick. Silly guy.

Gilbert Burns - Top 10 most violent people ever but has his family

Vicente Luque - don't know much about him

Rafael Dos Anjos - Christian father

Edson Barboza - Fucking loves kicking

Pedro Munhoz - Who knows

Deiveson Figueiredo - Wrestled like his father before joining team Alpha Male. Hard to imagine him as a comrade

Jéssica Andrade - Has a wife. Who knows?

Mackenzie Dern (counting her) - Instagram influencer, mother. Who knows?

Marina Rodriguez - Who knows?

Natália Silva - Who knows?

In conclusion I have no idea and they don't often espouse political beliefs. I think Renzo Gracie liked ~~the sickly Brazilian president~~ Bolsonaro. They're probably not leftists.

Look up "bolsonaro ufc fighters" to get a sense of what I'm talking about.
