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

We must invent the exact same policy we criticize China for in order to keep ourselves safe!

"National interest" is such a weird thing to care about.

I remember when I still hadn't figured out that "national interest" in a capitalist society was fake.

Brianna Wu has been full of shitty takes since forever. The only decent ones were those against Gamergate.

Yeah like, Gamergate is the only reason she's even a noteworth person.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

What was she even targeted for? I've seen her mentioned all these years but never bothered to look into how she got involved with Gamergate.

Tech companies responsible for almost all of the most commonly used programs, including the operating systems of nearly every personal computer on the planet, originating in the US and regularly cooperating with the US government: Capitalist market freedom at work!

Chinese company puts out entertainment app which is slightly more toxic and attention-grabbing than the ones that came out before it: This is a never-before seen threat to American security.
