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
Fundamentally, it's a rag started by the bourgeoisie in protest over tarrifs on grain. I don't think it ever was against reactionary beliefs, I think when they publish anything even slightly critical of the right it's for "balance" in the way American news does it. It's really funny because you see people comment on the articles saying "wow the ecommunist is woke"
If you watch the Jon Stewart interview of one of the lead editors of the paper, it's abundantly clear who the paper has always supported and their propaganda intentions.
It will always be this kind of low hanging fruit, so it's it's easy to get a laugh out of it.
