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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

I remember when the Charlottesville pigs stood by and did nothing while being alerted of a 6-man crew of open neo-nazis were at that exact moment beating DeAndre Harris to a pulp in the parking garage right next to their headquarters. They didn't even get him medical attention until 30 minutes after, and then charged him with assault.

It's interesting to see Vice, the media outlet that was founded by the same guy who started the Proud Boys, pointing out that the Alt-Right is full of shit.

He co-founded Vice magazine in 1994 at the age of 24 and relocated to the United States in 2001. In 2016 he founded the Proud Boys, an American far-right militant organization[2] which was designated a terrorist group in Canada

He was ousted later on for being a shit head. I forget if it was for being a sex pest or if it was creating a hostile work environment. McInnes is also credited with creating the modern hipster aesthetic, so even more reason he's going in the pit.
