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

Just saw this shared on Facebook and had to point out that Hamas has been calling for an end to the war this entire time and doing so again now means that their stance hasn’t changed.

hey maybe im just feeling kinda down rn but is there any point to reading tons of shit and being smart if it just means you will be crushingly lonely and alienated because everyone you meet topped out at one fish two fish

For what it's worth: I think most of those people are also crushingly lonely and alienated...because those things are due to material conditions more than what you've read.

Reading tons of shit and educating yourself doesn't make you any more lonely and alienated so much as it helps you correctly diagnose and identify the source of those things. Also doesn't give you any sort of special power/ability to fix it on your own though.
