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 (32M) am a researcher in international development, and made a post last week about Joe Biden being a Jedi, and unfortunately I dont think a lot of people agreed. However this is okay. Academic disagreement is really important to having a lively debate about Global (Galactic) Politics.
I also have a change of heart. Much like Ben Kenobi, I have a mentor. Professor Ballard and I had a lively discussion on this topic. Continuing with the aid (force) debate, I think that we can look at it like lightside (aid to Israel from the Global Elite (Jedi Council)) and darkside (aid to Hamas from the Dark forces(Witches of Dathomir)). This analytical framework has a lot of explanatory power, and really aids in constructing a foundation for understanding Regional Politics.
Even though Joe Biden is a "Catholic", I know he supports Judaism (Jediism) in the Middle East (Tatooine). When Air Force One (Warp Speed) landed in Tel Aviv (Alderaan), I really thought there was a new hope for a different ending for Israel than there was for Alderaan. If we flip the theoretical framework around, we may see that the structural threats to Israel have similar plans for Alderaan as Abu Obaida of the Al-Qassam Brigade (Darth Vader and Stormtroopers), even though they are Muslims, unlike Vader who is a Sith.
What do you guys think? It is important to understand our world through the lenses of theory. In this case, Star Wars.
We've got a poster here folks
Let him cook
oh man, I was worried this was real, but i feel safe knowing this is shitposting.
🤮
unbelieveable that dark forces isn't the star wars reference
