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

Why the fuck would everyday Russians use dollars in the first place two years after the currency was rendered useless in Russia?

All their humblebragging fake contrition about the crimes of that guilty land goes right out the window as soon as the chance to do it all again comes up, then it's all orcs this and terrorists that. They're like an alcoholic falling off the wagon. It wouldn't be quite so ennervating if they weren't so fucking condescending the rest of the time when they're not in genocide mode.

It's like talking to a redditor who's also a werewolf- I'm not sure which form I hate more but I definitely know they have zero right to be this smug with guts in their teeth.

Holy fuck I love this metaphor, comrade. 10/10 things I need to figure out how to bootstrap into my diction
