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

MODERATORS
Definitely a class component, but even the upper crust has its black sheep. Compare your Beau and Hunter Bidens, for instance. Or consider the path Pete Buttigieg and Bill Clinton took on their way up the political ladder. Its an endless series of hoops to jump through, to prove you're a loyal and committed junior officer of the Empire, before they start sizing you up for Consul.
One reason you still see a bunch of Congresscritters crawl out of the MIC. Or how many city politicians come up through the police force. There's no better indicator that you've been molded into a compliant lackey than bars on your shoulders.
