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

Imagine thinking "it's illegal" or even frowned upon to be a white nationalist lmao

This asschunk probably lives in the US, where being a 'polite' white nationalist is perfectly acceptable (if not encouraged) damn near everywhere

White nationalists are usually pretty immature so you can see that this comes from a schoolyard bullying tactic.

If you're the popular kid, just try fake tears and everyone will rush to your aid against the nerd who finally stood up to you (called you a jerk). Even teachers who get in on high school politics. I had one bully where his whole thing was "ironic homosexuality" where he would ironically flirt just to fuck with people. I called him a slur I deeply regret saying and then he fake whined that I was bullying him with this shit-eating grin on his face. Admittedly, I did get a much needed talk from the principal on why that slur was bad. However, it was also done in the context of 'two wrongs don't make a right' as if they didn't care that I was being bullied nor did they really want to hear my side of the story. Hell, why even get his side of the story at all?
