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.

The contradictions, folks. They’re sharpening like you wouldn’t believe it. I’ve seen– Nobody understands sharpening contradictions like me, believe me- and Hokey Hochul wants to tell you “they’re gonna keep you safe, they’re gonna keep you safe!” But we know.. Hokey Hochul and the Crooked New York State Dems, they’ll tell you “State sanctioned violence, intimidation, we need it folks.” It’s sad. The Crooked Dems, they’ll tell you. They’re saying “we’re saving you from fascism” but believe me– they’re just as fascist as the republicans. Maybe even more fascist. People are saying “they’re using state violence to fight those opposed to state violence.” and it’s true folks. It’s unbelievable really. Unbelievable. They do it and they don’t even realize it and it sharpens the contradictions. And if they keep sharpening contradictions they’re gonna be big time losers– big time. Believe me. Just like the Czar. Remember the Czar? Huge loser, we all know it. Lenin said “the indissoluble oneness of the tsar and the people and the oneness of the people and the tsar, it’s a load of crap” and he’s right. Just like the Loser Czar, the Crooked New York Dems and Hokey Hochul are saying that their power is representative of the people, not over them.. It’s sad.
