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

Hasan used to co host with Ethan klein??
The podcast was called Leftovers. The purpose of the podcast was for Hasan to teach Ethan Klein and Ethan's audience about Marxism and Leftism. I've met a guy who was a fan of Ethan Klein, say that he was turned onto the ideas of socialism from the podcast. Overall, I think the podcast had a positive impact.
Ethan is now a self-proclaimed Zionist who had formerly lived in Israel for 7 years. His wife served in the IOF. Before October 7, he was flirting with the ideas of anti-zionism. After October 7, there was a falling out, the podcast ended, and now he harasses the friends of Hasan online, such as Frogan, a muslim woman who was a moderator for Hasan's chat but now independent streamer.
They had a brief "politics" podcast show for a year, it was called "leftovers" named so because ethan is so liberal and so yankee brain that he thought he was some kinda of socialist leftist. The show was only "good" when it was solely about dunking on conservatives, which hasan and ethan have in common, with hasan sprinkling some marxism here and there but it completely fell apart when the subject of real leftist politics came on, like socialism vs capitalism (ethan is now a big defender of capitalism) and palestine.
They had a podcast called Leftovers where they dunk on republicans but it dissolved shortly after October 7 because of disagreements between the two
