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. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

Truths are complicated and challenging. We don't have to take sides or teams; although I know it's difficult given then times we live in, where we feel the pressure to take sides given how fast we are bombarded with information. Join me and others in the effort to be comfortable with cognitive dissonance, and remember that regardless of any political leaning or nationality, we are all connected by our common humanity. Let's not antagonize eachother. Good luck in your search for answers.

if you're experiencing cognitive dissonance INVESTIGATE WHY WTF

[–] nohaybanda@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago

Self-aware enough to recognise cognitive dissonance but too much of a coward to challenge my lazy good guys bad guys assumptions. Who’s with me?

That is prime tagline material. Who do I need to ~~threaten~~ ping to get it up there?

This is the type of thinking that is the antithesis to my very being. I always told myself that I was overreacting thinking these kinds of people actually existed. It makes me so sad to see someone claim it so proudly.

Normally I'd feel sad about this too, but seeing the libs rally behind genocide has made me go full Jonkler. I only have disdain for these shits.
