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

Fun fact: Moraes has cited laws that Starlink has broken, most notably defying a court order and continuing to provide access to Melon Husk’s Nazi shithole after it was banned, a flagrant violation of Brazilian law that Nazi Jesus himself bragged about on said Nazi shithole.

Amazing how quickly he switched gears from “fuck Brazil I’ll do whatever I want” to “we’re just a poor widdle company we never broke any laws 👉👈”

Amazing how Moraes, who was nominated to the Supreme Court by Temer after Dilma's coup, have been more based that any of rhe judges nominated by Lula or Dilma.

the judge cannot even cite a law that Starlink has broken

Nooo I can't bamboozle judges with black letter adherence to statutes while openly circumventing it
