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

You have all these rules and you think they'll save you 
It's important that children start learning that when we teach them that sharing is an unqualified good in preschool, that's not the whole story. Just as when they get a bit older and learn that it isn't exactly true that you can't subtract a number from zero, they have to learn the subtleties and complexities of the world in which they live in all it's glory. Sharing is good only insofar as it doesn't distort The Market or reward people who should be punished for their economic sins (or those of their family). It is fine and admirable to share with those who already have all they need, but bad and harmful to share with those who don't have enough, as doing so would make them complacent and keep them from working hard to better their circumstances. If your friend is poor, they do not deserve ice cream until they earn it for themselves.
Questioning whether the United States is the greatest country to live in ever is scorned by Americans of all political stripes.
we might have to start making excuses for the lack of terror
Death to America

Bizarre form of ghouls
