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

If a viewpoint is wrong, then it's not bad to silence it goddamn.
We had a protest on my campus recently and the entire news coverage was about how great it is that while the protest was happening, there were also counterprotests. And there's something so great and magical about my schools community that people who like genocide and those that don't can make their voices heard without resorting to violence.
My school issued a statement about the protests, not responding to the actual issues, but reaffirming their commitment to protecting the right to lawful protest (ie not being disruptive in any meaningful way).
