the_dunk_tank
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

I agree for the most part, but my experience with people is pretty weird coming from a very conservative place. I'm one of those people that still goes out and talks to conservatives IRL and doesn't hold back because I know I'm right.
I known that most of the people I talk to are probably gonna forget what I say, but discussing these things in the open and getting agreement with people on their terms (I'm talking about proletarian stuff, not culture war stuff) is good.
I've been able to draw in some crowds with discussion sometimes and even if the person I'm speaking with is a lost cause, the people around all start to question things and actually engage in productive discussion.
We are essentially that, but on a larger scale I think.
Only tangential, but please don't get shot in those irl talks with conservatives about being a communist.
I'll be alright, I'm always in a public place and people know who I am. Never felt threatened and most of the time I'm focusing on things they agree with and not picking fights
