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

edited out: Thank you all for the critique, I was wrong and I deserved to be called out on it. I was negligent and did not out the mental effort in to realize how I was replicating reactionary thought patterns. I can and must do better.
Casually doing race science and comparing ADHD to slave owning to own the dastardly whites, fucking hexbear moment
I have the caliper measurements to prove it
racism has no biological components whatsoever. it's an ideological construction that's learned and socialized. it can only seem to be 'inherited' because our social structures perpetuate racism and our economic system preserves generational wealth. but what those people inherit is property and parents/society that teach them racism, not a racism gene.
sorry to pile on but it's very important to understand what racism is if you're going to be opposed to it, and you shouldn't have the impression it's an emergence from natural behavioral dispositions. that's a claim of "race science"--even if you're just applying it to whites, that's a real argument the segregationists use/d to justify apartheid
You're right. By my own valueset that I am trying to develop, my previous comments were glaringly lacking in constructivist foundation and even had a disturbing essentialist underpinning. I deserved to be dragged for this. This is not what I want to curate in myself.
To vanquish reactionary thought it is inportant to make sure we do not replicate the thought patterns that transmit it, and I failed at this today. I apologize to everyone that saw my mistaken posting, and I should probably take a break from commenting for a while.
we don't know enough about any of this to do any such things
If I were an admin I would permaban you from the site for these two comments, no questions asked
You need to do some serious, serious self-crit at minimum. What the fuck, honestly
