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

Hi Hexbear Dunkers,
Thank you for calling me out on the misinformed, small-minded, and frankly awful comments I had made about the Ukrainian conflict. I am significantly out of my element talking politics, especially eastern european politics.
I appreciate everyone who responded to me, even if they were just pointing out how ridiculous or foolish I am.
I'm going to engage in some self reflection and figure out my motives for making uneducated comments on the internet.
This is the most surprising thing I've read all week.
Just remember LiberalSocialist said the same thing
I think they did actually learn some things though.
An inflammatory user that posted a bad take, apologized, then kept posting bad takes and being inflammatory - but now other users jumped to their defense, due to them apologising once. They would often copy-paste the same response to several users that made the mistake of taking the time to answer them in good faith. Due to this one of such responses became a meme "power dynamics".
They were around for a few months and created a ton of strugglesessions
"AOC is doing what the unions wanted her to do" was way funnier anyway
"Which unions, LiberalSocalist?"
Rank and file!
Wow, I'm taken aback at a person actually coming onto the internet with an open mind. Good on you stranger, you're kinda my hero.
It's a pretty low bar so please save your admiration for someone who deserves it. Thanks for the encouraging words though.
It's a low bar, but you're still the first non-hexbear user I've seen do it since federation
Came here to dunk amd this is the first thing i saw. We love to see this. Thank you for your honesty and I hope your self-reflection goes well.
Most of us are reformed libs who might have said something similiar to you had we not done some reevaluating of our recieved ideologies ar some point.
If you should want info on left wing perspectives or ideologies, the fine comrades on hexbear are as eager to help as we can be ruthless toward reactionary assertions.
Thanks for the welcome. I'm actually interested in media sources I should check out, specifically around the russia-ukraine conflict. History, analysis, commentary, etc. Anything I find from Google or YouTube (also Google 🤔) is couched in the same exact narrative.
Come and join us in our latest news megathread. There are always plenty of links being posted to relevant topics that often don't get much attention elsewhere.
Hohohoho... this is where the real fun begins. I present to you: The New Atlas
Early on one of our members was keeping an update thread going with sources, that was very helpful, but at certain point it was dropped as the conflict kept going on. Id post this question in the askchapo community and I'm sure you'll be innundated with sources lol, we've got some well informed comrades on there
