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

Even then the most some of these gigabrains are willing to admit is “ok he’s likely a nazi but why does that matter?”
watching in real-time as americans on reddit cozy up to nazis and normalize their symbols and beliefs
First as a tragedy, now as a farce.
"ok so he's a nazi do you have any idea how hard it is to find hardcore nationalists who aren't nazis" - somehow not a criticism of nationalism
from the people that brought you "why does all this fascism keep getting in my right wing populist anti-communism"
Yea the line is now "I'm fine with nazos as long as they're killing the evil fascist russians"
Ya know, like mussolini.
I don't know how people don't get that the Russians aren't fascist the fascists are the ones wearing black suns talking about pagan blood pride
Cus the libs were told if they support plucky underdog ukraine that makes them the good guys like in the marvel movies.
Love to watch libs write a thesis on why yelling "die f-slur" isn't homophobic in Ukrainian culture anytime somebody asks for translations on combat footage.
You'd think it would click when they start talking about how anybody living in Russia is a valid military target because of what their government is doing after living through the genocide we did in the middle east but the liberal brain is uniquely immune to self reflection.
I dont think they want to acknowledge that liberal democracies like Russia and their own system can be so violent.
