power always corrupts and that corruption usually looks like Fascism

I know this was kind of an offhand comment, but I think we want to be much more measured with our critiques of power, and avoid playing fast and loose with what we label fascism.

Tons of people are able to exercise power responsibly -- lots of good teachers and parents out there -- especially when they have resources, education, and there's even minimal accountability.

Absolutely is an offhand comment. Hexbear is where I shit post about my beliefs, knowing that people generally don't want to be debate lord me over everything.

I promise my views are more nuanced than what I generally present.

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
