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

is the argument here that it would better if Hawaii was independent of the US

literally yes since the US military industrial complex is responsible for hogging most of the land on the island chain, polluting the water, crowding out the working class, and handing everything over to scumbag developers. As for this particular disaster, the US isn't exactly better equipped to help hawaiians considering how far out in the pacific ocean hawaii is and how far goods have to be transported there. They're just about as well equipped as anyone else, but with the added caveat that they have a habit of neglect even on the mainland (see Flint michigan, for instance)
