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

Isn't Shaun a Br*tish person? Skullboy can't even vote in the election they're mad about. Why are people so obsessed about genocide Joe that they want to convince people in other countries that they should vote for him if they were allowed to do so hypothetically?

They're actually mad at him BECAUSE He's a British person saying this, because he's "influencing an election he wont feel the effects of" or whatever.

lmao imagine thinking Air Strip One (1984 isn’t great to reference, but the idea behind that name is pretty spot on) won’t feel the effects of their master’s election.

Counterpoint: American Empire's actions do not actually depend on elections.

Each and every country is entitled on an opinion on US politics since 2/3rds of the world is basically an US colony/military base, and the other 1/3rd is threatened by them on the daily
