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
When I was watching Russiagate evolve in subreddits like r/politics back in 2015, I kept seeing Soviet defector and KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov mentioned. He gave a series of talks about Soviet information warfare with the same kind of conspiratorial angle. It allowed liberals to make sense of their republican friends being unhinged fascists and leftists criticising the democrats. Actually their friends aren't bad people and they aren't a bad person by association, it's just the sneaky Asiatic mental magick hypnotising them through facebook memes. Words like disinformation let them feel cool like NAFO goobers use defense buzzwords, and you see the terminal result of that in real specimens like /u/Olivermarkusmalloy.
I remember "demoralization" being Bezmenov's repeated word.
