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.
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
I can't tell if this is just projection or if we really come across this way. I know some users get mad and have some snarky repartee and our emoji game is legendary, but I feel like every time I remember these libs showing up they were given real arguments when asked. I dunno if there's any point to caring and trying harder, maybe agony arguing at all is too much for these guys. It just makes me nervous.
It's just the snarky users getting mad because they never tried to engage in good faith and rightly got pigpoopballsed.
Nah, it's very much them editorializing to leave out the parts where they were invariably explained the error of their thinking and then proceeded to double and triple down. Our loveable and indispensable nerds love explaining historical and theoretical things to people
They dismiss the real arguments because we also call them a fucking idiot in the same comment and they believe that makes it an ad hominem attack.
Edit: This is not meant to suggest that I will or we should stop calling them fucking idiots. They are fucking idiots, and such fucking idiots they don't even know how ad hominem arguments work.
