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
Why are liberals like this?
Liberals are people who are afraid of addressing genuine progress and liberation because they want to seem good without actually doing good.
It's like how MLK and Malcolm X were very dissatisfied with so many white liberals during the civil rights movement, and liberals nowadays act as if they would be by their sides if they were alive back then. Their unfortunate truth is that they would be the kind of liberals that King and X hated too.
It's also because they understand real progress will hurt them.
Because they don't have beliefs beyond "This is a team sport that you win by only thinking that your side will win"

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Many of them have trust funds or money tied up in real estate, or at least their parents do
That one tweet summed it up quite well; liberals don't want to win elections, they want to win arguments
They support status quo, but can't admit it in public, so they have to pretend that they support progress, but it's not their fault that they fail to achieve anything.
