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

Yeah this isn't true at all. Low estimates for deaths during the trail of tears are around 15,000. But maybe liberals don't consider them citizens. Then if you consider confederate soldiers dissidents, then Lincoln killed something like 250,000 of them. I'm not gonna cry any tears for dead confederate troops though, fuck them. Truman killed hundreds of thousands of civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but that also doesn't seem to count because they're not American citizens.
I hate when liberals play this game of adding qualifiers to the types of people who presidents kill. Yes, the federal government doesn't tend to kill dissenters who are basically smug liberals whose dissent consists of posting or various consumer habits. The federal government kills dissenters like Fred Hampton, John Brown, and Malcolm X.
The "dissidents" killed in the revolution were also mostly Batista supporters (so literal fascists) or plantation owners and their security.
There were lots of public sector workers that fled, but they also tended to be Batista supporters.
My grandmother worked under a Cuban expat as a teacher in Florida who was administrator under the Batista regime and he was so openly misogynist it was wild.
yeah exactly, the losing side of the Cuban revolution were a coalition of plantation owners, mafia, and literal fascists. They weren't just dissenters for no reason.
If you listen to liberals you'd think Castro was going around personally shooting everyday normal people for holding a sign that says "I respectfully disagree"
