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

The important part is that we failed the right way

We respected the norms and standards while being completely dysfunctional

One time an angry lib on reddit-logo sent me a cartoon where an anarchist said "At last, I am the one pure leftist!" as he was being executed by a Nazi. It could easily have been altered to say "We couldn't save anybody from the carnage, but at least we played by the rules!"

Even unedited, that comic contradicts their point.

Yeah my answer to that is always "great, so where should we look for things you'll compromise on to the left?"
