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

It’s very funny to me that liberals, the most politically and historically illiterate group of people of all time, are so self-assured that they speak of communism with the confidence of a PhD (hexbear.net)

“Communism bad”

“Why?”

200 year old tropes so ancient they were debunked by Marx himself

Of course, you go through the motions of explaining the most basic political concepts that could be grasped by skimming the cliff notes for literally any Marxist works

“Friedrich Engels? Is he like the president of Germany or something?”

It’s like a kindergartener trying to teach you calculus.

Why does everything related to hexbear come off like an edgy 14 year old trying too hard?

We're such fucking losers. Gunna' DM some people to see if we can come up with some ideas to change this.

Edit: Ideas they came up with. 1) become more marxist 2) become less marxist 3) get rid of the mods 4) ban anyone who isn't a mod 5) integrate a general MIDI player into the site that plays Cruel Angel Thesis while posting 6) shrink ourselves down so we use fewer resources and can spend more of the day making posts on Hexbear 7) stop messaging me about every little idea and question you have

I'm sorry, we must abandon hexbear and eat grass like the sheep we are

It must be embarrassing that a bunch of teenagers can expose just how devoid of any value liberal “ideology” is simply because they’re capable of reading books.
