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
They don't actually care about anything other than looking like they have 'correct' opinions
Literally this. My partners dad is the most capital L liberal I’ve ever met and he’s such a fucking loser.
They’re having a family hardship rn and he’s the only one with any semblance of security and he refuses to help and when he actually finally does throw some breadcrumbs their way it’s so begrudgingly.
Like he has an opportunity rn to put his money where his mouth is but can’t help revealing that none of his principles or politics are actually based in love and compassion for the other humans he shares this planet with, much less his own direct family, it’s just about have the DNC approved talking points on hand whenever he’s in a conversation
Are you American? I've found a lot of American boomers seemingly don't even actually care about their own children.
i am, he isn't but he's doing his best to assimilate to that for sure
They have their stock portfolios to worry about. Kids are nice for the occasional photo op, but there are priorities here.
Being a Lib to him is more about "being right" than anything else. He doesn't actually believe in anything. Except perhaps his own superiority over everyone else.
