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
They won't be allowed to, things are not like this on accident, and I'm not sure what country you're in but preferential voting will not solve this problem
Capitalism, and it's popular form of faux democracy does not actually represent the people or allow them choice, it's like when a parent asks their child would you like to go to bed early or work on your homework?
It's not a real choice because either way they get what they want, which is continuing to hold power as a class, that being the capitalist or owning class, also called the bourgoise
There are very few places on earth where this is not currently the case
The US is a one party state, the capitalist party.
Julius Nyerere, the first president of Tanzania and a friend of Fidel Castro, made a similar comment in the 1960's
“The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.”
