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

Hey man, where did those scary guys with guns come from? Spontaneously generated by Joe losing?

Imagine knowing there is already an infrastructure in place to lock up undesirables and thinking that the bad thing would be liberals ending up in one of said already existing camps.

Seriously. Why do we have a society that can immediately genocide after an election? That speaks to such a shitty system where a single vote can do that. There are so many worse problems at play than which racist old man holds the nuclear codes.

Read the Jakarta Method.

It happens super quick and it doesn't take much

I second @[email protected] 's point: read the Jakarta Method. The most eye-opening thing about that book was how in every country where it happened, the people living here had the same idea "something that is so outrageous can't happen here".

In Indonesia specifically, the communists were already armed and willing to fight for the liberals’ democracy. They rejected the offer and as a result, the communists were massacred and the country’s fragile democracy was crushed.

Because we have people who expect no consequences for enabling it before an election.
