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 [email protected]

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

They're not being nuanced. The fairy tales they believe makes public policy more difficult by making the standard in order to increase public confidence in welfare so high that it's actually impossible to enforce. The goal of that nonsense is to dismiss actual statistics over the frequency of genuine fraud in order to ultimate destroy the entire welfare sysrem, which is in no sense "nuanced" or "centrist" or whatever you want to call it. It's just a means to throw innocent people to the wolves in order to please a bunch of reactionaries who will never be happy with systems used to help those in need.
