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

“as left as they come, 17, a veteran of the bedtime wars, an enthusiastic supporter of the state of Israel but also a finger-wagger of bibi finger-wag

I mean a 17 year old who saw friends freaking out about rockets and gunmen on social media is not going to be in any position to have an intellectual, comprehensive take on the situation.

Very luckily for me the net wasn't a thing until my salad days were behind me. I'm glad there's no record of my comments when I was 17. It would be unbearable cringe. And I had a cushy life in the suburbs.

I was born leftist

i love when people argue that other people r dumb for not consuming enough propaganda (main stream news and documentary)

why yes i probably would also support the state of israel if i uncritically read all the news that says "you should support the state of israel!" and then decided i knew all there was to know about the issue

"How dare they turn the nuanced discussion about colonizer and colonized into a Jews vs Muslims debate. We're talking about the Israel-Hamas War, for God's sake!"
