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've gotten howled at before for saying so, but I'll say it again: techbro cults like that are infested with self-described "autodidacts" which is a fancy way of saying "doesn't actually fucking know what they profess to know but will bumblefuck anyway, sometimes boosted by venture capital"
Yeah, it's fucked up, but even mocking the idea of "autodidacts" and all the harm the particularly rich ones cause is somehow upsetting to a certain bunch. It's like I become the gestalt manifestation of every wicked petty tyrant teacher that ever gave someone detention, my power only being potentially challenged by awesome radical rebels that say "actually I am an 'autodidact' and I already know everything" or something. Those rebels without a clue tend to have a belief that they can easily distinguish reality entirely for themselves without even an acknowledgement of the accumulated knowledge and expertise of everyone that came before. No wonder such smug-yet-credulous folks tend to fall for snake oil salesmen so easily.
