the_dunk_tank
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

that sub is usually ok, but the annoying thing about it is if you write a massive wall of text and use whatever sources, you can say whatever unhinged shit and it's treated like the word of god.
They just keep saying the same shit over and over again. I thought I was crazy to write that liberal historians have regressed to a pre-Enlightenment state and just replaced “god” with “culture,” but r/askhistorians is saying “yeah, that’s actually exactly what we do, and we’re proud of it!”
No scientist would ever say “it’s impossible to understand things,” but it’s apparently a totally normal take from libs to conclude that there are no patterns to human behavior and everything is just individualistic, subjective, and random.
interpreting history from a materialist lens makes you 'biased' or 'ideological', which is bad. historians are supposed to be like a machine, take input in and produce a compiled output of all the facts.
