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

Look at Gaza where a real apocalypse is happening right now. The people aren't turning into zombies and preppers and killing each other in a darwinian struggle. They aren't selfishly hoarding food and water and medical supplies and holing up isolated in bunkers. They are on the street, helping provide medical attention and transport, making huge batches of broth and soup to hand out to the population, praying in their mosques and churches, etc.
Nuh-uh, human nature is wicked because I made up a story where it is
-William Golding
I love that there's a real world analog to this that happened around the same time the book was published, where some teenage boys were lost at sea, stranded on an island for over a year, and not only all survived but helped fix one of the boys' broken legs and nursed him back to health.
I would like to add: death to the west and all it's preconceived notions of "human nature"
