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

Someone using "settler colonialism", "turtle island", etc etc is akin to hearing a Republican bring up Hunter Biden in that I know I can simpy discount everything they say about everything.

It's also more aggravating than the Republican version -- the MAGA vibe of "I'm just a simple man who believes what I see" is way more tolerable than "My niche hyper-privileged worldview represents the pinnacle of human intellect".

Hm. I wonder why one of those is more tolerable to you than the other. What a mystery. Also complaining about intellectual smugness is rich coming from the official technocracy fandom subreddit.

hyper-privileged

[cough] excuse me? colonized peoples are hyper-privileged now I guess

really reminds me of 'techno feudalism' and other re-coinings of terms... where they could use the original and it would make more sense (though probably point out contradictions in the points they made?)
