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

He had ALCOHOL. And fell asleep on a bed with SHEETS.

I mean, I'm not sure he did. He lived in a shack in the jungle.

When my would-be partners refuse to sleep on my bare, stain-covered mattress, I kick them out for their bourgeois decadence

capitalism is when bedsheets and food

So you see, children, the American brain pan is uniquely resistant to propaganda....

Not that I'm a fan of Pol Pot, but I have to laugh at the idea that he had satin sheets and cognac in his tiny wooden house in the jungle.

Real Dictators podcast

I prefer fake dictators like Cobra Commander and Baron Bedlam, thank you very much

I see Real Dictators podcast didn't even cover the fact that Mao could shoot lasers out of his eyes... smh
