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

The vast majority of Musk diehards (edgy young men)

I know from personal experience and decades of living around Silicon Valley that a lot of E~L~O~N diehards are aging gen-x junior boomers that peaked in the 90s and still think South Park is amazing.

this is true in the midwest too, at least in the past 5 years, idk if they liked him early on

Some may have went further rightward when their "just joking about (slurs) why are you so thin skinned why aren't you laughing" frustrations got worse and worse.
