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 [email protected]
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

There are many radical things about the status quo - the persistent raping of natural and finite resources for personal gain; the ongoing enrichment of the ultra-rich at the expense of of the poor; the global hegemony that keeps developing countries from becoming self-sufficient; wages failing to keep up with inflation or productivity growth for fifty years; the precariousness of the peace we experience that is often ended upon a psychopathic man’s whims; a lack of genuine social safety nets to protect the most vulnerable… I could go on. Fact is, there are many radical concepts we just accept as being the status quo, however these fucknuckles aren’t touching on any of that, like they obviously should.
