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
It's why, as deluded as they can be, I actually want to talk to libertarians. They are disillusioned with the system and haven't slipped into fash territory.
haven’t slipped into fash territory.
[X] Doubt
At least when it comes to the actual propagandists of (right) libertarianism.Self-aware wolves, the lot of them. The teenagers and man-children who just never grew out of it? Some are salvageable, if their material conditions permit it.
/r/Libertarian has gone through a few cycles of binge and purge since the halycon days of Ron Paul's '08 run.
The modern incarnation is more hostile to the GOP than I've ever seen it, and more flirtatious with leftism than its mods would care to admit.
Aside from all that, it's still an excellent place to bang heads for no other reason than its mod policy has (almost) always been incredibly loose. You'll get banned in every sub - from /r/neoliberal to /r/conservative to /r/shitliberalssay - for voicing half of what you've got a mind to on the Libertarian sub.
I haven't been banned from neoliberal yet but I mostly just go there to explain how smooth-brained their takes on geopolitics are, or if I have, like, a specific Marx quote that 100% owns whatever someone is suggesting because that's hilarious to do
The key is to choose a flair, it makes them think you're one of them
What is the Libertarian answer to this?
My bet is on something like: "They are violating the NAP, they can't do that. Hello, officer?" :angery:
Inevitably:
"I have devised a tactic you should employ to avoid death. First, always.."
"be white"
"shoot first"
almost like, if there are armed thugs who can EVER have permission to kill you, YOU'RE NOT FUCKING FREE. huh. weird.
Been yelling that on the sub for ages.
Cool to see its finally sinking in.
Just shout "Philando Castile" at any so-called pro-2nd blue lives matter asshole.
To their credit, that is the top comment in the thread.
You do not, in fact, have to hand it to libertarians
when they're right they're right
Hand them a live grenade
they're the False Consciousness lads, so if giving them an inch can bring some over here I'm fine with it
