Ask Hexbear is the place to ask and answer ~~thought-provoking~~ questions.

Rules:

  1. Posts must ask a question.

  2. If the question asked is serious, answer seriously.

  3. Questions where you want to learn more about socialism are allowed, but questions in bad faith are not.

  4. Try !feedback@hexbear.net if you're having questions about regarding moderation, site policy, the site itself, development, volunteering or the mod team.

many got banned precisely because they had good and correct opinions. Being correct too early is the #1 cause of being banned here

Ah, you're forgetting the secret third clause. Have good and correct opinions at exactly the right time.

Corollary to that: know when to shut the fuck up and avoid struggle sessions before they blow up in your face.
