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

On reddit-logo politics the Brandon fart-huffers keep saying “Biden is doing what most Americans want” on the border and then posting polls to prove it. Simultaneously, if there’s any mention of his approval ratings or his chances of winning reelection, then all polls are fundamentally flawed and should not be trusted because the only people who ever participate in them are old fogeys with landlines.

Which way, Brandon Bros?

"It's okay to be racist cause other people are" is such a quintessential liberal take

turning a big dial taht says "Racism" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right

Ah but you don't understand, tankies invented racism to end debate, therefore what we're doing isn't real racism :smuglord:

Also ignore all of those polls showing what Americans actually want i.e. universal healthcare, higher taxes on the wealthy, free education, etc.

Polls only have utility when they're confirming my biases or proving how dogshit Amerikkka is, otherwise I will make up a reason to dismiss them!
