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

Do these condescending automated messages work on people? I can't wrap my head around the strategy behind taking a tone like this with your voter base.

Fuck outta here.

the incantation you need is "Meg egy ilyet kapok es megbaszom anyadat a ravatalon!"

it is written in the ancient scrolls: http://bash.hu/1

(roughly "if i get another one of these, i'll fuck your mom at her wake" in english)

This is the most important election of our lifetimes and you couldn't take a few minutes out of your day? Guess you want Trump to win.

AUTOMATED MESSAGE: maybe-later-honey maybe-later-kiddo smuglord

Enlist to end

this seems to be characteristic of all the late-in-the-election-season fundraising emails they send out, too. aggressive and always hyperbolic. just absolutely repugnant communications tactics that must actively drive away engagement.

The worst thing Bernie ever did was turning over our contact info to the fucking DNC

Are you kidding me, condescending scolding is the primary language of libs.

Fits the narrative that "we" are in an existential struggle for democracy and There Is No Alternative, so why are you trying to enforce healthy boundaries like some entitled millennial?

Democrats hasten to paint others with the Deeply Unserious brush because they sense something about themselves.
