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
E) Also, if you're talking to a dude and he pulls out the "We need to establish terms" find yourself an entirely separate time zone to be in because he's about to drop the worst shit you've ever seen.
E2) I am p sure most of these guys picked that up as a rhetorical tactic from Stephan Molyneux.
I think you're right. They don't know how a debate works, they just see their favourite grifter tell them the magic words to say to win every debate and follow them to the letter. Of course, it works because people get sick of dealing with them and stop talking to them, which they take as a "victory."
