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

I'm surprised they don't seem to have an "open borders" fake news cycle yet. Ours in the US has been going for as long as I've been paying attention

you underestimate just how ethno-centric and downright racist Europeans are. Also we did have it for few years around 2016, but now even socdems and libs are doubling down on stopping immigration.

Doesn't stop euronazis from claiming everybody to the left of Heinrich Himmler supports open borders. It's the same as in the US, libs cave in to far right pressure thinking it will secure them "centrist" votes and get nothing in return.

deeper-sadness I should have known

Socdems and libs after systematically destroying the left despite having a minuscule amount of power compared to the far right and then instantly bowing down to the right.

There was one in the mid-2010s with all the Syrian refugees and you still see r*dditors talk about ”bearded children”.
