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

saw some houses recently with huge banners along these lines and it just reeks of smug white privilege

I always wonder if the people making these shitty slogans, merch, or the campaign as a whole actually think they're savvy and brilliant like an epic Sorkin character, or if it's just cynical punching the clock "let's do 2016 again so we don't have to govern" stuff. It probably just depends on the person I guess.

Like any job, it's probably a mix of the two. You've got the True Believers who think they're the marketing geniuses of the century, then you've got the people who recognise that they can just submit their first draft and clock out at noon.
