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
It was already a really weird hypothetical, then it just got weirder. Why do they always have to make it weirder?
I suppose it's just what happens when your brain is uncucked and can finally unleash its full power.
Or something.
Reality has a radical bias so you can't really rely too heavily on it to argue for reactionary ideas. Instead they construct elaborate thought experiments and try to reason themselves into the position they want to arrive at from first principles. Being disingenuous jackasses that reasoning always ends up being deceptive and irrational.
Good point, a lot of the most hardcore "true believers" in this stuff are extremely good at rationalising their own shitty behaviour and making themselves feel like they've "figured it out" when all they really did was find a bunch of vaguely intelligent sounding excuses.
