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

Government fearmongering about imminent terroristic threats when they know they do not exist?

Sounds like American college campuses today. And the government but they’re the OG terrormongers.

i want to say something about how it's illegal and heavily policed to have fun and be unusual in public but I'm not sure how. Wasn't there something with mario question mark blocks, too? And how every forgotten backpack gets called in as a bomb threat now?

Americans saw United 93 and immediately thought they were all gonna be badass heroes taking down the evil brown savage terrorists. Only problem is terrorism actually happens about a million times less than Americans believe so they have to resort to reading terrorism into everything.

They’re drunk off “see something do something” propaganda. Probably bolstered by the “any bag you see not handcuffed to a person is a BACKPACK NUKE!” announcements in airports.
