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

Remember all the smugness about how people in red states "had [bad thing] coming"? You think they wouldn't treat Muslims the same way?

This fucking shit, what even is democracy then?

Vote for our guy, or you will die! He would rather watch you be deported or killed than cede a single fucking inch on anything that matters to you, but if you don't fully surrender your political voice to him an even worse guy will come and punish you, and you'll deserve it. If you try to hold our guy to account in any way, even just rhetorically, you're a traitor.

How is this different in any way to liberals' wild fantasies of the "authoritarian totalitarian communist dictatorship"? They'll never explain because they're physically incapable of processing this framing.

It's different because you can vote, sweaty.

Oh god, they're gonna smugly invoke that beaten-into-the-ground redditism about faces and Leopards, and in that moment my sanity will snap like a twig
