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

"Teach us how to think for ourselves"

"Here's a laundry list of ways that this right-wing outlet is lying to you and trying to get you to blame minorities for the bad aspects of your life caused by capitalism, here's how every other society has done the same thing for the last 2000 years"

"WOKE!! WOKE!! WOKE!!"

Also the irony of "teach me how to think for myself"

idk

Good educators encourage exploration and give cognitive tools.

Mind is a fire to be lit not a box to be filled.
