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

This vibes with the most recent chapo ep, where they observed that everyone seems to think the problems they face in getting their political agenda advanced all come down to messaging. We're all just advertisers for our political brand, no one knows how to actually do politics.
I wouldn’t say messaging is completely meaningless, certain phrasings resonate more with the targeted populace than others. The problem is thinking of the TPTB as a targeted populace that can be swayed with the right combo of words. Power and money dictate things in their world, not a way with prose.
