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
I'm not being facile if I say that it's manufacturing consent all the way down. It doesn't matter if Anderson Cooper reads off a teleprompter or he ad libs. The content is the same. It's only the phrasing that's different.

Ninja edit:
Oh, fuck! I'm having temporary computer memory problems and I can't find a quotation from Chomsky that I like. I may reply again later. "Oh, fuck!"? I really said that? It's just a basically-nothing first-world problem. How very quickly I complain.
Wait a minute. Is that mic on. Um... This is a bit. Of course.
