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
I was just about to use this example. Not only that, but many politicians (never mind the public) asked at the time didn't even know that the Governor General and said powers even existed at the time. He had, however, been on the CIA's payroll for some time.
Yeah it's nuts that in most Westminster systems the only stick propping up democracy is the convention of the British Monarch appointing prime ministers 'on the advice of Parliament'. Even the expert legal scholars in this field have no idea what would happen if the King just decided to ignore Parliament and do whatever.
I mean they had a civil war about it, so i think they probably have some idea
In theory, but would Kid Starver or Rishi Sunak execute Charles? I have my doubts.
