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

Oh yeah, and don't forget that Aboriginal people never had permanent settlements either!
Believe it.
Yeah, we weren't taught about any of the varied social structures and ways of life of the Aboriginal people, just vague "they were hunter gatherers" oversimplification. At "best" it would've been some dances with wolves "They were one with nature." Bullshit.
Nothing about settled farmers, nothing about semi-nomadic agriculturalists, nothing about the eel farmers that had been building and maintaining the same fish traps and dams for tens of thousands of years (the same dams and fish traps the white settlers destroyed to build their houses with the stones). Nothing about Silvaculture, or inter tribal relations and communications, or how the tribes in the north traded with Indonesia for millennia.
It was all "They were peaceful hunter-gatherers who lived off the land but didn't cultivate it." I have heard that things have been changing since I was in school, but I have my doubts, especially since so many teachers can treat Aboriginal history as "woke bullshit" and not teach their class properly.
