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

MODERATORS
I think they meant that they do not follow any one political ideology or worldview. Which I guess is fine, as long as they still have reasonable responses to the issues they see around them.
but how do you follow no one
like I get what you're saying and I'm just being a bit coy here but if you follow no one you would have to go out of your way to tailor your thoughts to be contrarian compared to great thinkers of the past and present
it's just a bad way to look at your own ideology even if you do genuinely process a lot of this information independently. all of humanity's greatest work is a collaborative effort improving what came before. if you're ignoring what came before, you're just leaving holes in your ideology to be exploited.
It just means that they have no idea what they're talking about, don't know any of the ideologies in any detail and can not place their own politics appropriately.
99.9% chance this person falls into one of the ideologies extremely clearly but they're simply not politically active or educated enough to know.
Absolutely. The "best" you'll get from people like this is knowing what policies democrats and republicans claim to support, and they think some are good and others are bad. Although even then a lot of the time it's shit like "I'm pro life but I don't want to impose that on other people." or "I'm pro education."
