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

Philosophy Tube is cia/m16 because she promotes pro vax iniatiatives, they go after Shaun for making fun of Jimmy Dore and quote Caleb Maupin’s book on breadtube as if it were a legitimate source and not complete crank shit. This was written by Max Blumenthal too, no wonder Ben Norton jumped ship from this trashfire.

Also in typical Griftzone fashion the article is 1hr long so only people who want to confirm their prexisting biases will actually read the whole thing through.

And for any of the people who want to perform apologia for Blumenthal who for all intents and purposes is the Grayzone I am CIA MI6 FBI Mossad state department NED and whatever other intelligence agencies you can think of

Max Blumenthal is an actual anti vaxxer and grayzone was definitely funded in part by Russian money, just look at how fast the content dropped off after the Ukraine war and sanctions before it came back. (From February 18 to 4 March they produced no content).

It's a shame because they actually had some really good articles on there and are still writing good stuff (their latest piece on Illan Omar is pretty good), but they had to go and tarnish their reputation like this.

Like seriously this analysis is really good but no one will read it now without going "lmao it's redbrownzone cringe" when you share it.
