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

Plato was a time Traveller and his allegory of the cave was him trying to explain Americans ti ancient Greeks

At this point I'd genuinely believe that is the truth.

Plato: "Lights come out of a box and make shapes and the people stare at it."

Other Greeks: "like fire making shadows?"

Plato, exhausted, going home: "yeah, sure, whatever helps you get it."

Plato: "So anyway, the people who stare at these boxes are stupid assholes but you can never convince them that they're wrong."

Other Greeks: Frantic note taking
