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

Honestly at this point I have to assume these are fake or chronically bored suburbanites doing a bit, cause the psychology of human beings who genuinely think this way about Joe Biden makes no sense, even by the incoherent lotus eater standards of American voters
Most of the time I assume the most unhinged shit is a person doing a bit but then I remember COVID was like a Chernobyl event for the brains of millions and now I'm like 70/30 on it.
If thereβs anything the internet has taught me itβs that no person is so bland and unlikeable they canβt form a weird parasocial following through sheer force of exposure
we live in hell
It's my friends. It's people in my life. They're real. It's... idk they've always been like this but the circumstances haven't been this extreme and the contradictions this obvious and the horror and violence so easy for anyone to see.
