the_dunk_tank
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

it isn't funded by oil execs π€¦ββοΈ don't just say random shit from memory
"Saying random shit from memory" seems to be a recurring problem with Hexbear.
It came to me in a dream
Thatβs why I said that it was from memory, because I am wrong on some parts but am right on relation to rich kids. Read the other comment replying to me
"This is just from memory..." or "I might be wrong about this, but..." feels equivalent to putting "no copyright intended" or "all rights belong to respective owners" in the description of a YouTube video. And just like the honest form of "no copyright intended" is "piracy is inherently moral", the honest form of "AFAIK, IIRC" is "I did not bother looking up anything I'm claiming".
People should hold themselves to a high standard, and phrase things with actual commitment and responsibility. Who or what exactly benefits from the usage of weasel words and hedges? And compared to what detriment?
It's funded by Aileen Getty, whose dad owned Getty Oil (which was bought by Pennzoil who was bought by Shell).
I don't believe she's doing a psyop, just a lib doing what libs do.
right, but she's not an oil exec. I doubt she's on the board of or holds any position at anything related to an oil company lmao.
