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

Having those "maybe trotsky was right about invading everyone nearby" moments

Younger Trotsky often wasn’t wrong about things so much as that he was horribly fucking annoying and so people didn’t want to work with him.

The menshevik shit was cringe, his hatred of peasants, and then he just started to fuck people over hard after the revolution

Trotsky was the living embodiment of that "Moe throwing Barney out" meme, where he was the liberalism that stayed in the bar after liberalism was thrown out.
