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

Reminds me of a guy I know who thought that cities were "stealing" power from rural areas that produced more than they used. He advocated the rural areas cutting power to cities and said, in all seriousness, that cities could make up for the deficit by switching to LED bulbs

"But sure, let's build a pipeline across indigenous territory, and use indigenous resources!"

Also, I thought they assumed every Muslim was a terrorist, so shouldn't westerners be celebrating that China is 'sticking it to the terrorists?'

Electrical grid interconnections are imperialism! That’s why Texas is the most anti-imperialist place in the US!
