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

Conservatives are scared all the time and that's good, actually.

Imagine admitting that you're just biologically predisposed towards fear as if that's a positive quality. "Yes I am actually a primal beast who jumps at my own shadow, like all great predators do. This means I'm the pinnacle of biology!"

Someone mentions pronouns and their threat ganglia start wriggling

wasn't their whole response to COVID "I refuse to live in fear"?

And yet their response to a vaccine was "OMG SO SCARY SCARY VACCINE MIGHT GIVE ME VACCINE MIND CONTROL ZOMBIEITIS bird-screm-2 "

If you believe you're an 'alpha male' (or whatever Greek letter they're on now), I guess it makes sense to believe you are the pinnacle and every deviation from you is not indicative of anything negative in you, but is instead indicative of problems the 'betas' are facing

Also that tweet lmao

  1. Conflating leftists and liberals
  2. 'My brain more fearful of brown people and that's good'
  3. Phobic is a slur
  4. Misunderstanding that 'smaller' is not 'atrophied' lmao, as one indicates a comparison between two masses without bias, and the other indicates one is undersized relative to another
