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

I know I’ve expressed dislike for the guy in the past, but seriously? I thought for even something like this, he would at least have a good take on it.

Hinduism relies heavily on a caste system. It is a belief system that reinforces fascist ideology. Why be a hindu when you can be a buddhist?

that's an incredibly reductive definition of a religion so diverse it isn't really even one religion

You want me to write a 10 page essay elaborating on it or something? You don't even know one of the most fundamental differences between Hinduism and Buddhism; and why it makes one more fascistic over the other.

Of course there's different sects of Hinduism. It's literally the oldest living religion. And there's ALOT of baggage that comes with that, namely the caste system which continues to negatively impact the Indian populace.
