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

But idk it feels like this is already WWIII

Hard agree here, though I will say we're pretty nuanced about giving critical support when the enemy is the greater satan. amerikkka

There's a lot of issues with Iran's government, but at the end of the day that itself is a product of the US's own actions and at this point I think the vast majority of hexbear users would be rooting for a US aircraft carrier getting denazified in that event.

Right that was where I was coming from on Russia. Smashing the barely livable post USSR state because reactionaries are in power doesn't solve shit. Hell we got here by smashing the Ukrainian state with BLACKROCK but now I'm just trying to be clever

I totally get that, the modern Russian state is itself a product of western meddling and I have a really hard time being in spaces around liberals here in the west because of their open russophobia.

There's lots of issues with social reaction, but at least they're not evangelical about it. Half of the US is openly more reactionary towards trans people at this point.
