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

Gödel, the guy who famously proved that the foundations of mathematics is flawed, also pointed out Gödel's Loophole in the US constitution when he was naturalizing as a US citizen which allows the US to legally turn into a fascist dictatorship.

Also good point to point out that the US constitution is the second attempt at writing down government, after the failed Articles of Confederation.

It's not really that it is flawed, but that any formal system is going to have blindspots. I think the commonality here is that our boy just loved analyzing formal systems and thinking of corner cases and exploitable features.

Joke on him, they didn't even had to amend anything.
