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

I guess the Deprogram guys are the Three Stooges now? But the joke doesn’t really work

Who is Roderic besides a guy who runs a (admittedly pretty good) blog? Info on the dude is scant online.

What is the difference between a blog and a website at this point for such a site? It rivals Marxism.org but for another goal: making theory easier to read and understand for a population that reads wayyyy too little. It's mostly works from other people with some of Roderic, Nia, and some others original pieces between.

I've also been scared by the fact that there's little about him online, but it makes a bit more sense when you hear he grew up in Peru, studied engineering (computers) in Canada (?) And works there now. It's not like he's gonna have a huge profile in his 20's. He also does lots of work with programming on GitHub, from before he was of redsails fame.
