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

Sorry, didn't see this when you posted about it, but some keywords include like the other person said the failure of herd immunity through infection, comments Fauci made more recently about the vulnerable "falling by the wayside", and similar early rhetoric being linked to such views as shown by the UK covid inquiry, something which we are unlikely to ever get in the USA. There, proponents of this viewpoint used the euphemism "dry tinder" to refer to the abandoned and those deemed dysgenic.
The US covid response was basically adjudicated between people who thought we could reopen after two weeks and deal with a short-term die-off, and those who felt a longer runway to the same result would be more manageable for the healthcare system. Much of the deaths weren't seen as worth preventing, only delaying to avoid greater disruption to the lives of more important people. Despite publicly criticizing the Great Barrington Declaration, he has helped them place their policy goals into practice and stayed silent as they failed one by one. Eventually it became the law of the land.
