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

It's unironically fine, 18 year olds haven't learned the power of framing yet. You give them some premises and they just uncritically accept them and rampage around this tiny arena showing off their young brain's ability to logic. If you give them some different premises they literally don't know how to deal with it. I live in a college town so have interacted with a few of these bright young minds, fairly easy to convince them of most things. Just remember how confused you were at 18, you haven't been exposed to many ideas yet and pretty much just seize on the first thing you're told about how the world works that seems plausible. It's why a lot of people go through a one year libertarian phase around then.
