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'm either not interpreting your words well, or I don't think you agree with them.

Admittedly I'm trying to take what they said in good faith and to that effect filtered out whatever sounded like nonsense as perhaps them being unable to articulate themselves and found myself left with the words 'ethics' and 'culture' and went from there.

I mean, "I don't want to" is a valid response but it says something about the person and the culture they are raised in

Maybe they simply believe too strongly that it is unethical to say whatever they are asked to

Some things are not worthy of criticism, but most things can be. Especially leaders.

These things sound too silly to take at face value, so I'm assuming either English isn't their first language or they're having trouble expressing themselves.

(And because my humor seems to not register for most, I'm actually saying this person is very silly. My post was more to goad them into admitting they believe in racist and small-minded nonsense)
