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

your comment made me think about how the US security state sent out fake protestors with megaphones during the latter half of the summer of 2020 and would use the plants to corral the mass of unorganized protestors

the unique difficulty of organizing in America is that everyone here is libertarian brain-poisoned and completely individualist. They want to have the perfect politics and are on an individual quest for political redemption and perfection. We cannot win until we destroy that mindset and people begin to understand we need discipline, and hold collective interests above individual interests.

"my incoherent mix of deranged opinions is what makes me so special and unique, and the people on TV agree with me so I must be right"

"listen, I may have never read a book and I'm more than 150 years out of date in my conception of philosophical concepts, but here's this new idea I've come up with that nobody has ever thought of before."

EDIT: sorry I am feeling really pissed off
