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

Honestly its rude to be invited by a country to meet their president who decided to respond to your criticisms of their administration only to not show up and go meet the opposition.

Being invided and then no showing shows complete disregard to basic diplomatic Etiquette since it was a mission to show solidarity against the embargo

Bonus socdems being cringe part 4.5: about another member that didnt show up to the presidential meeting

Deeply unserious people

The Powers instance was an established romantic relationship

  1. it is pretty common for people in orgs to get involved, it is something that should be planned for

  2. it seems like in this case the abuser was using people as accomplices, otherwise the response from the local org wouldn't have been what it was.

We also do our best to identify these behaviors during our month-long onboarding process,

How?

Genuinely what would you suggest?

Yes; there was no mechanism to go around local leadership. Now there is.

How?

Explain the policy, talk a great deal about comradely behavior and expectations of conduct, and do our best to get their vibe. If that's not sufficient I would again ask for a concrete suggestion.

How much political education goes into learning about how abuse culture perpetuates itself in activist subcultures?

That's kinda beside the point, that only helps if the victim is actually reporting

I'd need to know more detail on how this is done.
