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

It's also in my experience the most terminally online leftists are the ones going online complaining about other people not voting instead of like actually doing organizing. I certainly don't see a lot of them outside the internet or when doing things that actually matter instead of putting a piece of paper in a box thinking it changes anything.

if terminally online socialists actually could sway elections to the point of crowning the next king of america, then you'd see politicians smacking loaves of bread with Das Kapital claiming they're conquering bread in a looney toons attempt of winning our votes to crown them vicar of christ.

reality is that socialists of all ideological threads has no influence on american politics and being a shitlib wokescold crying about us not voting for your marionetted corpse-emperor is your Id frantically searching for a scapegoat to burden the sins of the world upon to placate and soothe your ego with a panacea balm in order to blind yourself to the fact you are the reason you lost as there is ephemeral differences between the political party you consider your enemy and the political party you chose to lionize, you absolute corncob
