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

R/Worldnews is the single most propogandized place on the entire internet.

While the rest of reddit was circulating the un report about how the people in the mass graves had their hands cuffed, the top post in worldnews was a press relief from the idf saying they didn't kill anybody.

The top comment was "well in the modern age this should be easy to prove" with half a dozen "removed" comments right under it.

r/neoliberal gives r/worldnews a run for their money.

Difference is, everyone in r/neoliberal are already full on ghouls without a shred of humanity. r/worldnews is on the front page of Reddit with millions of normies stumbling into it

That subreddit was literally started by a fossil fuel lobbying organisation wasn't it?

Yea but neolibleral almost revels in being the bad guys and leans into the stereotype of annoying douchebag (intentionally or not is another question)

Worldnews posters are trying to act morally superior and like the reasonable adults in the room while parroting propoganda that would make a toddler raise an eyebrow from being to heavy handed.

Oh, r/worldnews. The Eglin Air Force Base favorite sub.

It is basically just r/CIAShitPosting, I mean there is no doubt it is fed run right? It is so inorganic

Well wasn't it proven one of the mods was Ghislaine Maxwell?

there's a pretty good wad of circumstantial evidence that u/maxwellhill is her, but admittedly nothing concrete
