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

An interesting question I've never seen answered is: how do ancaps propose to bring about their vision of society? It would require the overthrowing of the government and the destruction of all current corporations, but I have never once seen them call for revolution.

Like all liberal philosophies, they think that if they can just convince enough people to support it, society will just magically transform into it, they have no concept of existing power structures or the idea that those who hold power will fight to keep it, they just think that if people support an idea enough, it becomes reality. Idealism in its purest form.

They usually just buy a plot of land and try to build it from scratch. The projects are almost always called Galts Gulch and it's a crapshoot whether or not anybody ends up actually seeing the property before someone runs off with the money. Fun every time
