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

Chinese person: “You guys should probably take action and stop this.”

Liberals as they are being lined up against the wall by fascist paramilitaries on orders of Supreme-President Generalissimo Tom Cotton for the charge of being last seen interacting with a Trans person: “But the Uyghurs-!”

(I swear, after this, if I see the word “whataboutism” once, I’m going to flip a table)

:le-pol-face: "Chinese people hate freedom and they hate you."

:gigachad: "Hi! I'm a Chinese communist! I will use my Twitter account to stick up for Americans, who are losing their freedom because of a neo-clergy.

:le-pol-face: "Muh Uyghurs! Never mind that I have been demanding genocide of Muslims on /pol/ for about a decade!"

suggesting we focus on our own problems

this is actually a soviet ussr tactic invented by Karl Marx to try to force the conversation to be about problems that actually exist, I forgot the word for it.
