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

Quick question if violence is not a valid political tactic why do countries have "defense" budgets?
That's actually the status quo so it's not political
Seriously the only problem libs have with random acts of violence is the random part.
Maybe if people posted a pre determined, regular schedule of when they were going to start burning down precincts and courthouses we'd get the libs on our side.
Bit idea: the "free speech zones" at Bush-era college campuses but it's around the designated burning precinct.
Mosh pits are just designated riot zones
uh it's for defense against violence, it's right there in the name
It's funny because this actually works on millions of people who insist that violence is never the answer.
It's not a valid political tactic within a country if you agree to the rules. Myself and you guys think the rules are bullshit.
One of our countries rules is "if you try to charge us with war crimes well invade the hague"
Whoah now, that's changeable. If you follow the 'rules'. I'm referring to the political process for internal change.
I'm pretty sure it's not changeable within the rules. on paper? sure. in practice, it benefits the political class so it doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell. otherwise, we might be held accountable for warcrimes.
whether or not you personally agree with the rules doesn't really come into it. it's just an analysis of power. violent resistance is necessary to end the violence.
On paper it's changeable? In practice? Nah, bruh.
