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
being a liberal "academic" sounds so goddamn exhausting. how on earth do you spend so much time looking high minded, writing so many words to explain the reality of the world around you just to never actually come up with a single ounce of something profound to say. Self assured idiots who are only concerned with presenting as smart and rational whole not having a single original or subversive thought ever even have the chance to grace their sterile minds?
The problem with the elite institutions is that they’re too often focused not on academic exploration but on training rich kids to communicate with others in “high society,” the tropes, name drops, and jargon to signify being “cultured.” The analysis of what Cage was trying to say with his music isn’t the point, the point is to give them the clever things about Cage they can say years down the line at gala events.
