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 Muslim ban wasn't even stopped by dems they did fuck all about it other than finger-wag like always. It was the courts that stopped it; the same courts the federal supreme court of which Obama gave a seat for free to his "good friends across the aisle" and didnt pressure RBG to retire and which Biden refuses to expand or pack and even denounces the idea. And which for lower courts Biden kept on a lot of Trump's awful appointments ,like that Chevron lawyer who helped defend Chevron's destruction of Amazon and poisoning natives and helped prosecute Donziger

"outside agitators" to discredit protests and justify repression is old as dirt too; and often racist


they did that against MLK even. Wehrmacht Walz used it to justify sending in the army to crush the George Floyd uprising in Minneanapolis
