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've spoken about this before, but they think that everything is a binary good/bad. Liberals = good and Conservatives = bad.
We clearly aren't liberals, so we can't fit in that "good" box, so we must go in the "bad/conservative" box instead.
That's it. That's their rationale behind this. "They aren't liberals so they must be conservatives." Words mean nothing to a liberal, it's all about vibes.
It really is pretty much just this for a lot of them. Maybe the slightly more sophisticated among them will call us like "useful idiots in service of the right wing" or something along those lines. Not a lot of rigorous thought goes into this shit most of the time. It's basically a disney understanding of politics.
It's fiction brain. They need the real world to be full of simple good guys and bad guys, because they've always been a "good guy" their whole life, and if being good or bad was based on actions and nuance and not just a simplistic "We are the good guy team" they might need to consider if they aren't actually as wonderful a person as they think they are.
