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

Oh it's been a long time before that in general that's just what flipped me from 50/50 to actively opposing what was happening.
9/11 was a big day for me because it's the first day I actively watched the news after getting sent home from school.
And then a couple months later nobody could come up with an explanation for why we were invading Iraq that made any sense to 8 year old me.
"So they're the ones that attacked us?"
"Well no, but you see...."
"Then why are we going to war with them?"
"Welllll.... you see....."
Then I started noticing a pattern that cause and effect didn't really seem to have anything to do with decision making.
It sure is gonna go ahead and edit that real quick, thanks.
