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 disagree. Both tactics work can work.
For me it was having a bunch of MLs laugh at me and ridicule me that really got me thinking.
I remember being a baby leftist trying to argue that “capitalism just works which is why a social welfare state is the best plausible system” that gave me a jolt into re-examining my views.
If someone comes in good faith then yes you talk with them calmly and reasonably but if someone is tone policing, lecturing, or trolling then you give it to them right back.
Saying you can’t be racist against crackers is not only true, it will also confront people into thinking about what racism really is and what function it performs in our society.
I had a really hard time grappling with the you cant be racist to white people because my entire experience growing up was being bullied, beat up and excluded because I was white. I swear I came up with reverse racism back in 2003 by myself because what liberal media was telling me without the additional context didnt make sense in my upbringing and small world.
Once i got into college and saw that everyone was white and that they grew up predominantly white areas the pieces of the puzzle fell in.
I think if you look at a white person and go my reddit breadtube told me to call this person a mayo cracker whiteboiii youre lame as shit. All the mayo/cum demon or whatever you guys are saying is an entirely online thing and super white itself. All of this stuff should be viewed the lense of class and power dynamic within communities. Not blanket hatred for someone who might actually agree with you/want better.
Whatd they say lool
white genocide is very funny
mayocide isn't a proper genocide, it's a neonazi conspiracy theory about birthrates
I see, so it is an ironic post calling out conservatives.
That makes more sense
