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

It really is an uphill battle to educate people. So many people in the west operate under the assumption of "I didn't know about this, therefore NO ONE does."
There's a mental development test done on young children where they'll be shown a small container that normally contains smarties (or m&ms or whatever) and asked what is in the container, they'll respond with "smarties." but the jar is then opened to reveal a tiny pencil. The child is then asked "If your mum came in here and we asked her what was in the jar, what would she say?" and kids before certain developmental milestones will answer with "a pencil" because they don't understand theory of mind yet, that others can know things they don't and vice versa.
What I'm saying is, an awful, awful lot of adults in the west would probably fail this very basic test that most children can pass by primary school year 2 or 3.
