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

This is just plain awful.

Those people who proclaim that Trump is a fascist and then when you ask "If he is really a fascist, are you telling me that the only thing you did about having a fascist government was to vote against them and complain about it to your friends on social media?" all they give you a vacant stare in response are bad enough.

Here's a person telling you "There's a credible threat to democracy and I believe the people who are behind it have the power to achieve their goals" and their solution is to vote? Lol good luck. Did voting stop January 6th?

This pitiful excuse for a call to action is the equivalent of discovering that your building is on fire and going on Facebook to remind everyone to check the batteries in their smoke detectors.

Progressives have absolutely zero concept of praxis and that's entirely by design.

But but! If we were to actually do anything that would prevent them from returning to power, we would be just as bad as them!

well voting didn't stop january 6 because we didn't vote on it..see the problem is we didn't get to vote in that case and we have to vote to make sure we get the chance to vote next time before something like that can happen
