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

I had half expected to see a swaggering tribesman of the kind I used to meet in Yemen—mouth bulging with khat leaves, a shawl over his shoulders, and a curved dagger at his belt. Instead, Abdelmalek al-Ejri was a neat looking fellow in a blue-tartan blazer and a button-down shirt.

Absolutely has tagline energy. Every time I have clicked the little picture in my feed to expand the text, I have felt the psychic assault as purely as the first time I saw it. I do not think this will get old.

Additionally, if anyone has access to the cutting edge of artificial-intelligence, I would love to see what the racism machine makes of the each of these sentences.

Actually, should probably toss in "Houthi Spokesman" to the art theft bot as well.

"Are you more racist than a machine?" is a game show I would watch. Winners get not reeducation through labor.

I know, right?

It’s a study in how good we are at hexbear in collecting the worst takes of the libs and the cons of the internet and showing them to our comrades for bouts of collective self harm.
