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

Justin Schlosberg (@jrschlosberg): Virtually all human history of violent resistance to violent oppression - with the possible exception of Northern Ireland in the 20th century - is a history of abject failure.
Its why leaders like MLK and Gandhi deplored it and Malcolm X and Mandela abandoned it.
Dog Pope (@Dog__Pope): Haiti, Angola, South Africa, Cuba, Vietnam, I could genuinely go on.
Justin: I must confess I perhaps don't possess the breadth of historical knowledge to justify that rather sweeping statement.. but I don't believe it was the armed struggle that defeated apartheid in South Africa..
Dog Pope: Maybe actually read some history before making such declarations. It's genuinely very unhelpful.
Justin: Thanks Dog. And remember it's OK to express a difference of opinion without resorting to personalised attacks. I recommend trying it some time.
Dog Pope: No, you don't as a supposed intellectual get to proclaim a strong opinion on something you clearly had no idea about, the amount of shit I had to read yesterday from people paid to be wise has made me even more cynical, which I didn't even know was possible.
Dog Pope: It's ahistorical, lazy and honestly you've now made people question your rigor on more than history questionable. How is anyone supposed to trust what your write when you haven't even got a basic grasp on modern history?
Oh my god I hate these kinds of dickwipes.
"Uh ok I guess you have a point but do you have to be so mean about it?" Fuck right off you dweeb.
some loser from the startrek.website after i corrected them via a fact and with some added sarcasm
it's just "I cant refute you, so I'll attack you instead of your argument." debate sophistry that they apparentely hate so much
Just say they're doing a heckin ad hominemarino and watch their head explode.
😠
