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
When I said that I was aping an example of what the state department or western media would say, which is why it's in quotes.
Rest assured the US is not done with it's project in Libya, there's just too much money being left on the table. Sooner or later there will be some liberal with a bleeding heart for the poor "savage nobles" of Libya.
I'm sure they are already looking for their version of a more amenable and controllable Gaddafi. They just have to do a little historical revisionism to explain that it wasn't the "despotism" that was the problem, but the man himself, and that the strongman leader is the only thing that works in Libya.
