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

My favorite historical person is John Brown and he only did two things wrong. He should have brought more soldiers to Harpers Ferry and I read somewhere he would yell at his kids sometimes.

Everything else he did was cool and good

He should have brought General Tubman and let her lead the thing

General Tubman is my other favorite historical person. Am I allowed to have multiple favorites?

liberalism: Sorry in communism you are rationed only with one favorite historical person.

:left-unity-4: Anarcho-communist Polycules: Have as many favorite persons as you'd like!

I dont think he just yelled at his kids

Aw man, did he beat his kids? I mean I know it was the 1840s and times were different but that's sad.
