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

same, I'd rather just have the argument

It'll quickly sort out the possible allies or collaborators from mealymouthed worms.

Sure there's a time and place to put on different hats and keep your ideology to yourself when coalition building a popular front, but United fronts generally require you to be up front with what you stand for when talking about what goals you want to collectively work for.

yup, plus you get to explain to well-meaning but misinformed types who think, for example, that surplus value refers to the reserve army of labor (and therefore casts them aside)
