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

The Tomekians want to kill everyone in the Valley and use the Giant Warrior to take over the world.

We Pejites only want to kill everyone in the Valley and use the Giant Warrior to destroy the Toxic Jungle.

Therefore, a vote for Pejite is a vote against genocide.

No, it doesn't matter that we're actively luring the insects into your homeland to kill everyone to drive out the Tomekians and seize the Giant Warrior because while we're in power there's less genocide. Which is the important part, and pretending otherwise is sophistry. If you don't support our ploy, you are increasing the likelihood of more genocide and if you try to stop it, you are an active participant in the overall social apparatus that is probabilistically increasing the amount of genocide.

The utility calculation is dead simple: more dead Tomekians in the Valley makes more genocide less likely, and discouraging people from supporting Pejite makes more genocide more likely. Therefore, discouraging people from supporting Pejite is a pro-genocide strategy and supporting Pejite in the Valley is an anti-genocide strategy. You should support Pejite unless you're safely removed from the conflict and even then it's not a bad idea.

TLDR: if you encourage people to stop Pejite from luring insects into the Valley, that's supporting genocide. Accelerationism never works for us.
