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 think it's just a kid, but goddamn are they stupid/idealistic/naive

Thats my read too. Their political vocabulary is pretty telling here. They jist don't know what they're talking about and sre very confident about it

They jist don't know what they're talking about

Completely fair, we all learn everyday

are very confident about it

Wish our society would instill more humility. Every lesson is like a debate these days, people have to be convinced of everything, no one is capable of just going "you know what, I don't actually know anything about this subject, it seems like you're knowledgeable, can I ask you about..."

Yeah, i think we'd all be happy to help them learn but they are too assured that they know everything and are the "actual" communist unlike us

That's what dunking is for as well. I used to be like that, until I got made so much fun of I went "ILL SHOW THEM, I'M GONNA READ ALL THE STUFF THEY TOLD ME TO READ AND THEN IM GONNA READ THE CRITIQUE OF THE STUFF AND THEN I'LL OWN THOSE FUCKING COMMIES" and then I read the text and started to realise I'd been a total idiot
