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

'll never understand this way of thinking. You can focus on more than one thing at the same time.

I've come to the realization that a lot of Twitter leftists are single issue voters. It's just that that single issue changes based on what's pissing them off in any given week.

They really think the left is just as baby-brained as they are and only capable of focusing on one thing at a time to the complete exclusion of everything else. As if me being pissed off about Isn'trael doing a genocide right now means I've suddenly forgotten about the erosion of abortion access, the ever-increasing damage being done by climate change, fascist jackals attacking the human rights of my transgendered and POC comrades, or capitalist pigs making the world a shittier place for anyone less wealthy than them. But no, any time the left speaks up against whatever atrocity against human rights or human dignity the news is reporting on this week, they automatically mean "I no longer care about any other issue but THIS ONE" because that's just how human brains work or something.
