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

Link for the morbidly curious. Burgerites really haven't learned anything since 2000.

EDIT: Egg on my dang face for not noticing the bluetooth bar blocking out half of the evil things this dupe is saying.

matt-jokerfied WHAT HAS THE PAST 50 YEARS OF US FOREIGN POLICY TAUGHT YOU??

Sure, we have continuously tried to pummel smaller nations into submission and it hasn't worked out so far, but what if it worked this time? This time there won't be the bodies of American pilots paraded through the streets, or plane loads of coffins to unload. Not to mention countless innocents killed.

Mogadishu in 1993, the Black Hawk Down Incident. May have just been soldiers not pilots, I can't recall.
