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

What progress could they possibly be thinking of?

And then there's the classic lib thought process that criticizing or not voting for Dems means voting for Trump.

Progress is when the backslide isn't instant and complete.

Progress is when we don't go to bed where all is normal and then in the morning we wake up to hey-nonny-nonny music in a peasant shack covered in pig shit. Progress is when we are not surrounded by 9 starving children that claim to be ours but of which we have no memory. Progress is when the hey-nonny-nonny music that woke us up is not the arrival of the Archduke come to take our strongest children to fight against the frightful invaders with inexplicable technolo-guy (US citizens internally displaced from a blue state who have been pushed out due to rent quintupling as half of the country was mystically transformed into a Medieval Times.)
