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

Yeah, that ending paragraph actually confused the shit out of me on a first read. Because I (naively, I guess) assumed that the point of an article was to, well, make a point or argue for something. But this article seems to exist to argue for nothing. Just legitimately I think this article exists so libs on the internet can link to it when someone calls them out for supporting colonialism. And given that, it makes sense that the last paragraph would be some wishy-washy meaningless drivel. It doesn't have to be anything else. In fact, it's maybe even better if it argues nothing and comes to no solid conclusions.
