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

yeonmi-park In capitalist America, in order to go to work every day you have to let the military search through your belongings. Once you pass the military checkpoint you must still be wary because there are police officers disguised as civilians hiding in the crowd.

Yes, they are. Cops kill over 1000 people every year in the US. We have no idea how many shots are fired, especially when they're popping off because an acorn hit their car or something stupid.

Maybe it's just less interaction with the public idk

It's the less interaction with people thing for sure. The shit the NG did during Katrina or even Kent State is horrific, the more exposure to civilians they get the more awful shit will happen

There’s an even more recent example with how states deployed NG during the 2020 BLM protests

Yeah, I linked an article about that one ng genius firing on a car because a cop with a beanbag gun said "light em up"

Literally any excuse to pull the trigger is good enough for them

Looks like contradictions need more sharpening.
