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 federated instances' admins or moderators.

Every single person in the world could watch RRR, The Battle of Algiers, Battleship Potemkin, Soy Cuba, or your other favorite revolutionary films and it won't do much more than let them enjoy the feeling of resistance (and really believe that they are in the movie, beating the bad guys) but they still have to go to work tomorrow. Media like this just works as a release valve so that people can allow their screens to perform activism on their behalf. Social media (Hexbear included) can perform the same role. It's a simulacrum of actually doing something that substitutes the real thing.
