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
He was never really my cup of tea. I know the most about his 2015 era so I'm equally as clueless how he became relevant to leftist spaces. My general understanding is ~
Around the 2015 era he was one of those "edgy" YouTube reactors, kinda like a slight toned down leafy (if you remember that name) and was friends with Idubbz.
He made a video about some parkour dude and they tried to sue him in a lenghty and expensive case which he won so he got praised as a "fair use defender" afterwards.
Next thing I personally know is that he has a controversial podcast with Trisha Paytas where he was the sane one (because it's Trish Paytas...)
Then I guess he made a podcast with Hasan Piker which I assume is where his "leftist" cred appeared from?
Now he has a podcast with just him and his Zionist wife (literally an IDF soldier who went to a "terrorist city" in the West Bank because she was bored) and they cry about rampant "antisemitism" on the left or whatever and make the genocide all about them.
