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 don't have words immediately coming to mind for this. I think I'm going to lay down soon and see what others come up with. sleepless

Reading Blood Meridian right now and if there's any accuracy to the violence what the Comanches did to the US Army early on in the book absolutely pales in comparison to literally anything the Glanton gang gets up to, or even just the Judge

White people are the most fucked up by far

I think that's kind of the point, right? That McCarthy shows this "barbaric" scene towards the beginning, and then shows the supposedly "civilized" people act far worse. Like, no wonder the Comanche did what they did!
