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

The followup:
"Sure I made it up, but isn't it scary that the dumbest people on planet earth believed it???"
It’s wild how often the right uses this argument when their incredible gullibility leaves them looking moronic. Like, no, it doesn’t mean anything about society. It means you specifically are dumb and naive and vastly overestimating your own intelligence.
Boomers: Don't believe everything you read online, kiddo
Also Boomers: Hot conservative lady said Satan is going to ascended from the earth and eat a baby live on air tonight at 6 PM!
Laura Loomer? Hot?

I need a crying frog to properly represent this feeling
yea I'm double posting this in the thread, but look at how well this lines up:

Thanks for sharing, I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading but this is a great essay.
These are such wise words.
I think they're mostly right but their uncritical embrace of the seven deadly sins of a concept is pretty weird. Also the idea that one has to be good "for good reasons that are entirely selfless" is kind of weird too. It's normal and good for people to have pride in not being a bad person, actually. The bad part is when you base that pride on falsehood (and pride is not the same thing as feeling superior to other people)
Of course it should also be based in actually caring about other living things but that's like, idk kinda of assumed I thought
"It's very telling that people believe things I say."
Yeah, its telling that your followers have rocks for brains
