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

As a strategy, state actors often create misdirection to discredit people who question their ops and false flag operations and maintain plausible deniability.

There was this beautiful moment where FBI agents complained that it was hard to infiltrate anarchist groups because they couldn't bribe anyone and had to read theory. I think it's that latter part that makes coming back near-impossible for actual wreckers. If it's just someone with one bad opinion they can correct that, but even if someone hasn't actually read theory there's a bar for having that worldview. Then within that bar there's an overton window of what a revolutionary socialist would say and what a LARPer would say and it's ontologically clouded by their actual worldview. There have been somewhat successful splits like we had over veganism, but I don't think we would ever have the problems that a community like /r/antiwork has the same way /r/chapotraphouse didn't. Our whole subculture is bullying bullies and bullshitters.

Be sure to show this to an ML next time one of them says anarchists are easily manipulated by feds.
