The liberal brainpan cannot tolerate encountering a political position that does not admit compromise unless that position harms groups large enough to be considered undifferentiated "other"s. Many such cases: racism, trans rights, animal rights, children's rights, refugees, and I'm only hitting the highlights. To be firmly and immovably on the liberatory side of any such issue is purity politics, but there's always room to kill a few more "other"s so the frothing blood cult will consider not voting down a non-binding procedural motion too hard. On the other hand, we know every billionaire by name, so it would be uncivil to suggest barbara-pit

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
