Frankly, people should have just been savagely, viciously mocking these crazies from the moment their nonsense started to pick up an audience. As someone who studied biochem at the masters level, the things these people say are so far removed from any of the accepted science and so far down the rabbit hole of looney, sensationalist Hollywood nonsense that it genuinely puzzles me that more people didn't simply bully these people for having such a tenuous grasp of reality. If I made claims half as outlandish as these people, I'd have been rightly made fun of and become a public laughing stock.

Boomer civility politics. People believe they have a "right" to be deranged idiots and that it's some great virtue to treat these people seriously. Hopefully civility politics will die with the Boomers.

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
