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

Sure. But the same Index listed Israel as a “flawed democracy” so getting a few right doesn’t save it.

Flawed democracy sounds about right for them imo. Do you mean it should be in the same undemocratic group? I *don't* think it's quite on par with the likes or North Korea.

Not allowing something like 20% of your population to vote isn't very democratic. Your DPRK takes also sound very LIB

I'd imagine that's part of why it's a flawed democracy

Your DPRK takes also sound very

What do you mean?

E: Noticed I said it's on par with NK when I meant the opposite, whoops
