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

John Oliver floats a trial balloon for taking a stand on an undeniable genocide.

The air force has just shot down that trial balloon, claiming it is Chinese 🎈

HBO would never have let him on their channel in the first place if he was any sort of threat to the rich bastards funding them.

Idk I think it fits his overall stances. He’s not that bad, a lib for sure but one that seems to try, I never took him as cynical

Watch him talk about any country in the imperial periphery or semi-periphery. Hell, you don't even need to go that far, watch his video on DeSantis, where he says DeSantis would be less bad than Trump.

What his stance might personally, privately be is beside the point. What matters is the stance he projects on his very public platform.
