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 like how they think the moralists or ultralibs or w/e faction they think they are is the best choice
the world around the player is in utter decay as a result of said factions
cant make this shit up lmao
Gestures wildly at the real world and
Someone with some insight might take away something from the fact that their preferred ideologies are both absent and omnipresent from the actual characters of the game.
The prime rep for ultraliberalism is a cynical billionaire whos company has just sent in a fascist death squad to resolve a labor strike, and anyone else who might be described as an "ultraliberal" in the game are literally on the shit tier of society either grifting for scraps or just completely delusional.
And moralisms prime rep is a literal occupying warship, followed by a bureaucrat who bullshits you about the economy while secretly engaging in sexual relationships with someone living in a filthy decaying slum, and finally Kim who deliberately refuses to engage in any serious politics and therefore doesnt really count.
Edit: Just remembered Trant, whos technically listed as a moralist on the wiki I guess but whos also an apolitical coward more than anything, and a crypto-social democrat.
The actual people of Martinaise are neither ultraliberals nor moralists, makes you think huh?
Someone in that thread was specifically praising the Sunday Friend lmao
Of course! He talks about economic responsibility to people who are suffering so badly from the economy they are blaming a supernatural curse for their misfortunes!
Its a neoliberal wet dream. I have to assume somewhere in the thread they are gushing about the vision of a future IKEA-fied Martinaise that the new ZAUM added with the photo mode update.
Here I though the guy praising a disconnected economic metric while sitting in a bombed out ruin where people live in abject poverty, where he goes for basically sex tourism was too on the nose
