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

Except that debate bros don't accept a well-reasoned and sourced argument

They never have

They like to project the image that they're all sensible and erudite, but the truth is that they just cultivate cults of personality and use that to project an image of correctness

That's one thing that funny-clown-hammer gets right, you beat fascists in a debate by ridiculing them to their face.

Brianna Wu having any kind of platform is in the top 10 worst consequences of Gamergate.

I hope you have a spot for Candace Owens on that list

I honestly forgot she crawled out of obscurity around that time.

What "bad ideas" are coming from inside the house? honk

I don't know why, but the metaphors that liberals use like "coming from inside the house" which is a reference to a scary story, and they can't even get the line right, really bother me.

"Adults in the room"

"That's not how it works"

"Understand the assignment"

Etc.. it's all something a 14 year old would say to sound smart and sophisticated, but really it just makes them look like a fedora meme from 10 years ago

Weird how they always get to decide what constitutes good faith and reliable sources.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

huge red flag is people talking all about how "rational" and "logical" and "fact-based" they are. Ever heard of show but don't tell?
