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

It's full of "I'm left but not a tankier" and "ACAB doesn't mean all cops, it means this system is unjust" and so much cringe. You guys jump in there because I can't.

Another gem

Being left leaning doesn't mean you don't like cops, or think that police aren't an important job. That's a bit of propaganda that has been used to further divide the left and right. I know plenty of cops who are very left leaning, and become cops purely to help people with social injustice.

I've been on hexbear too long, I had forgotten that to most westoids "left" means liberal.

The left-leaning cops they're talking about:

Means nothing, he could just have an interest in horses

Is that a cop watching voosh? I've never seen a video of him so I wouldn't know.

It sure is.

They even have their own word for "heretic". It's "bootlicker" and they use it against anyone who doesn't swallow their sacred letters completely and totally.

bootlicker

"I'm not licking! I'm NOT licking!" I scream, as I'm licking boots.

Top comment: Now they get to be the police reform they wanna see in the world.

I think Lenin is about to wake up.

There was a comment about Lenin being a lich in there and how he'd refuse to step down from power. I wish Lenin was so cool.

I'm writing a cyberpunk thing right now and wonder if I can work in a Lenin character now... Probably won't go with Lenin the Lich though.

Does it strike anyone else as slightly sus how the community just instantly defers all decision making to the nearest lickable-looking boot?

Don't ask this site to jump in or brigade anything, we love posting trash reddit threads, but you won't find so much as a single comment or upvote in the actual threads lmao
