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

MODERATORS
Said this in the other thread, but certainly bears repeating here.
Hiatus on keystone pipeline expansion was a good step.
But then we’re immediately back to business as usual with insane production volumes of oil and gas (only thing America is #1 at in the world these days), continued massive subsidies for fossil fuel industry, and removal of benefits and subsidies for renewables.
THEN, he goes and does an absolute gimme for Manchin by allowing the Mountain Valley Pipeline to get rammed through Appalachia, violating dozens of environmental safety regs. I’d love for anyone to explain to me why Biden felt the need to reward Manchin this way… (yeah I know, Manchin did his job of obstructing the dem majority admirably, and they all love him for being that fall guy).
So really, this is a net negative on fossil fuels.
Not true, America is also #1 in prisoners per capita
And by a WIDE margin in ~~wasting~~ "spending" money on the military and arms.
