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

Because reality is left so academia (when allowed) skews left. But obviously, our masters can't have leftists in a capitalist country gain any power, so they settle for liberalism, which is still capitalism and therefore right wing, but not so right-wing that you consider flat Earth theory valid.
I remember from Noam Chomsky's Manufacturing consent is that the media may seem more sympathetic to us because it's as left-leaning as you're allowed to be. And even then, anything to the left of whatever slop is posted on /pol/ is considered blasphemy. Go ahead, go try to debunk the Bell Curve or say that anarcho-capitalism is not a flawless ideology. Folks will be shocked that anyone dares to question such sacrosanct beliefs.
Yeah well put.
