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

I've often wondered how all of this nonsense could work when it is all inherently contradictory, now I know. They just have a conversation where they use fancy words to sound smart without knowing what any of these words mean.

Parrots are better for conversation than these bozos. At least a parrot can be nice and direct and isn't deeply insecure about their intelligence and making it everyone else's problem.

There’s also a thing where a bunch of new age authors will quote each other circularly and begin to talk with one another, so you can find a “consensus” by sticking to certain corners of new age thought. Everyone being obsessed with Atlanteans as a secret precursor to modern civilization is actually a good example of this. There are also a lot of cryptofash along the writers for that genre, so there’s an interest convergence driven by the fascist agenda. The pyramids being built by white people is a good example of that one.
