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

This guy's on a whole other level, citing misleading pseudoscience to claim human races are entirely different species, akin to wolves and coyotes. Meanwhile a random black person will often be more genetically similar to a random white person than another black person.

There's more genetic variation between 2 communities of chimpanzees separated by a river than all genetic variation in 8 billion humans. Zero basis for us being different sub-species, let alone species. Humans might have diverse phenotypes, but we're extremely genetically alike compared to other species.

Seems like an impossible task to somehow make these clowns understand just how little time humans have been around for and how much intercommunity sex has characterized our relatively short history
