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

Arguably, it already is barbarism. But many times before, there have been times as barbaric or more than this, and at a certain point even people in reactionary areas like Bavaria, in the most impoverished rural areas of the world like say 1930s China, in Latin American barrios and indeed even disadvantaged communities inside of the centers of capital and empire have eventually said enough's enough and at least attempted to throw off their shackles - or even earlier, if you count the various medieval and early modern era revolts by peasants, indigenous people, etc.
Things are bleak now, and they might get bleaker, but giving into depressive fatalism is not the solution.

I'm gonna have to go to Poland again next week, that's gonna be psychic damage to look forward to.
