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

Yah know it would be a funny SciFi book/game concept to have some future where some high authority allowed war but forbade any civilian casualties so now all countries conduct war in this ritualistic way where they have to clearly mark all their bases in isolated places and battle locations had to be preplanned less the orbiting AI kill us all with space lasers.

"We are warning you. If you go down this path - we're going to destroy Alpha Base."

"That would be very foolish. We would respond by destroying your Base Z-12."

"But that would mean..."

The orbiting AI kill us all with space lasers.

That could be in the sequel.

It would probably just evolve into an arms race to make the best SpecOps team to break into the Capitol Buildings (also in a desert) of other countries, but then all countries would keep investing in more elaborate security systems. So soon countries would just end up pitting their SpecOps teams against each other in arenas. Basically we'd end up bringing back Samurai.
