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

DS9 says that terrorism is cool and good sometimes using an alien race formerly under a 50 year brutal Carassian occupation thst the writers said in interviews was analogous to the struggle of the Palestinians. Ds9 also has an episode where a main character leads a strike and quotes Marx. The captain travels back to this year and sparks a revolution over the homeless crisis in the most prescient piece of Sci fi ever, it was written in 1992. Garak is a queer icon and Jadzia/Ezri Dax are trans icons. Deep Space Nine is the most left wing Trek until Lower Decks happened. Also watch DS9, it's absolutely amazing.

It'd basically Mein Kampf as a 7 season Sci fi series that spun off of a successful franchise. It even does self-crit about the federation and shows perspectives of characters outside of stsrfleet. It's right wing as hell
