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

MODERATORS
it's almost kind of impressive how the US "education" system managed to get the people in that thread to trot out their defences of probably the worst war crime in the history of humanity so confidently, when even yank military leaders at the time thought using the nukes was somewhere between "unnecessary" and "unforgivable".
and I bet they would all lose their shit if someone said they might have been propagandized in their schools...
anyway, sure this kind of discourse is sad and disturbing to see on reddit, but I feel worse seeing it on lemmy, e.g. https://lemm.ee/comment/3384957
