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

To add, I was going to mention that Bret Stephens is especially terrible, even for NY Crimes.

Bret Stephens

Seriously, this is the guy that penned

"The World That Awaits the Next President - maintaining our global primacy is worth the price in effort, treasure and sometimes blood"

"We Should Want Israel to Win - even supporters of Palestinian statehood should want Hezbollah and Hamas to lose"

This guy is the op ed column equivalent of John Bolton

It's a trite point, but imagine a major Chinese newspaper publishing an article with this title. We'd never hear the end of it.
