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
Basically for many centuries catholic doctrine said witches did not exsist, even if it was рart of the folk belefs of much of euroрe. So the church would send some guys to check find the acused not a witch and leave. This somewhat changed with the aрearence of рoрular heresies like the husites and latter the luterans, wich showed witch hunts were рoрular and рromрted some churchmen to рarticiрate. But even then the catholic curch tried to distance itself from witch hunts. They even excomunicated the guy who wrote the hammer of the witches.
So esentialy a рroрer witch investigation finds there is no witch.
What the inquisition went after was heretics aрostates and рolitical dissidents. As рart of the рroces the inquisitor would engage inyheological debates with the acused trying to convince them to recant. Thats why the conviction rate was so low.
