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
I think a primary difference in the impulses that drive liberalism and leftism is that a leftist will realize they're taking part in something cruel and think "this is fucked up, I should stop" while a dedicated liberal will come to the same realization and think "welp, seal's broken, might as well go whole-hog evil."
"Everyone does bad thing, therefore system that rewards bad thing is the best system."
How to spot a liberal: "No ethical consumption under capitalism."
The meaning has been perverted to mean "All consumption is equally unethical." And you can ignore the capitalism part entirely because of capitalist realism.
