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

When we have the revolution in Australia and they make me head of the Committee of Public Safety I'm putting every single person responsible for this "put them in camps forever" idea into the remains of the Woomera camp and then redesignating the target zone of the nearby rocket range. One death is not enough for the suffering they've caused worldwise

My theory is that climate change will eventually make Australia unlivable and Australians will try to flee en masse to New Zealand.

I hope New Zealand treats these Australians with the same compassion and dignity as the Australians treated "the boat people".

The south east coast and tassie will likely stay vaguely liveable. That said Tasmania is essentially the West Island of NZ culturally.

Its always strange to me that australia, an entire country that started as a forever camp for criminals, would unironically do the same thing to people looking for a better life

History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.

Look at the people who founded Israel and what the state of Israel has become as another example.

Ideological superstructure flows out of the material base. Settler colonialism forges a genocidal people everywhere it's implemented.
