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
"You'll become more conservative as you get older" is the biggest bullshit. The large majority of gen x and boomers are lifelong conservatives if you applied today's standards. You were progressive in the 80's if you thought gay people dying of AIDs was maybe sort of a bad thing. Most people's core values either stay consistent or evolve more progressive over time
Even if you look at
ing patterns, major differences between party preference and age didn't really become a rule until more recently; 18-24 year old boomers reelected Reagan harder than most generations (at over 60%), and 18-24 year younger gen xers in 2000 were 50/50 split in a 50/50 split election
