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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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

MODERATORS
why the hell would you use that image to try to argue 'actually the union was bad' when it is literally the caning of Charles Sumner - an abolitionist - on the floor of the senate lol. Dude who did it was literally fined and got re-elected later that same year despite beating a senator nearly to death with a cane in front of the entire chamber - who unsurprisingly wrung their hands the entire time and barely intervened.
The guy who caned Sumner also sold like commemorative novelty canes to his fans in the south. The USA is an ontological evil and it's always been the same.
That kind of tacky shit would soar today too.
george zimmerman sold the pistol killed trayvon martin with for $250,000
He also sells signed bags of skittles.
President Xi, whenever you're ready.
Google “Lester Maddox ax handles”
we need some sort of combo emoji for this shit
you missed this:
Every time
Reminds me a lot of that shithead who shot three Floyd protestors in order to "defend private property"
Downthread a bit the same user says the North shot first. Total disregard for basic historical facts.

"celtic character of the south" lowell chevalier sounds very welsh indeed
the gallic peoples were also celts but that doesn't make linking the American civil war to Hengist and Horsa less nonsensical
like that guy who somehow concluded that Stalin and Hitler were both descended from some random country in Europe and that ww2 was therefore just a civil war of thay country
i mean i would be comparing such a thing to anglo-irish or anglo-scottish oppression in the 16th-18th centuries if i were talking about the civil war---but a anglo-french lil ass has not a goddamn thing to say abt that
They should’ve kept firing too
Meanwhile, the first thing Irish immigrants saw when they exited the boats were Union recruitment booths getting them to enlist in the Union army.
Lmao this is just writing warhammer lore for different kinds of white people
Celts? Is that really this fucker's angle? The British-American South is as Anglo as it gets in America, since it's not like there aren't multiple notoriously Irish populations throughout the major northern cities like Boston and New York.
yeah good ok
you actually can't get fired from an elected position
I know of a place where you can
Again it is unfair to compare America and China because China is run by actual adults
With sufficient artillery I assure you it's possible. Ask Jefferson Davis.
Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but Brooks had two other senators with him, one of them armed with a firearm, who threatened and blocked anyone who attempted to intervene
The other 96 senators could've taken them (there were probably less than 96)
