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 can get behind the libertarian sentiment of “I want gay couples to own machines guns and grow weed,” but unless they always vote for libertarian parties, their default course of action is to almost always support the Republican Party because guns and money and “free speech” will always be more important than the lives of marginalized people.

Right wing freedom rhetoric is most easily understood as Freedom of the ruling classes (in the modern case, property owners). I know multiple libertarians on welfare who claim otherwise, but their political action and support is non-existent outside of that.
