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

Every hippy crystal/astrology person in Tinder is a coin flip between fairly normal person who just happens to be into it and anti-vax, libertarian, white supremacist psycho.

Which is nuts to me, 10 - 20 years 95% of those people were very left wing, or at least primitivist. Basically you can track what happened to JP Spears and see that writ large across western culture.

I'm not sure that's entirely true. There were reactionary spiritualists as far back as the 60s. I think that Yogi the Beatles were into became a sex pest AnCap.

I had people who sent me that guys videos all the time several years back and there was definitely a point where his views starting seeping into what was supposedly tongue in cheek stuff. Dude also gets fucking acupuncture for his dog.
