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

Until talking about Star Wars there's not really anything dunk-worthy, and at that point it's just poor media literacy. It doesn't get bad until BLM. They're asking their question politely, they're not being defensive, they're open to the thought they might be wrong and they explain their thought process.

Then they complain about BLM cringe but it seems like it's the typical type "enlightened" centrist, except it seems like they're at least asking questions instead of just bloviating about how clever they are and they're honest about being conservatives.

I'm going to take the enlightened centrist position and say fuck 'em but also I hope this line of inquiry leads them to reevaluate some of their beliefs.

I mean I agree, they're a chud fuck them, but I was just commenting on the fact that they're not doing anything egregious in my eyes. They have poor media literacy, but at least they're willing to ask questions rather than defensively accuse the other of being dumb.
