For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
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 bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

"Erm aksually you're the smug one. Ad hominem, wengardium leviosa"
I never associate "Ad hominem", "whataboutism", etc to magic words but it's exactly how people see it. They use it and boom they win the argument.
they hear or read the words but don't learn the concepts, or are downstream of a bunch of people who used it wrong.
and i say wrong here because they were trying to say something else and failed to say what they meant, not out of prescriptivism.
