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

MODERATORS
You might wanna figure that out if you're going to opine about politics
Said it before and I’ll say it again. Reactionaries see themselves as the absence of politics, not a political idea.
I hear this all the time and I absolutely hate it. You go to church once a week, go to bible study/cell groups, you follow all the traditionally conservative rules around protestant Christianity. You are part of a religion. Just because you believe you can personally communicate with God and don't need to go through the priests, it doesn't change the fact that you are still very much part of a religion.
that's some specifically american brainworm tho. it no doubt builds on the anglo anticatholic nonsense, but i dont think brits have this advanced 2.0 version of it.
gah my PARENTS do this, frick
Cuz politics, to them, is anything intrusive and obstructive to them, that brings discomfort to power
"why won't the unworthies just lay down and die?"
Being political is anything that questions the status quo
Accepting the status quo requires no action and is therefore “non-political”
Fish not seeing the water around them basically
It's liberal.
You're a fucking liberal.
That's just not fun to write an attention seeking essay about, because you're just another dumbshit liberal trying to seem unique and redeemable.
I think she means fascist
Also what ever will get her the biggest pay day
