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

Remember that time about twenty-twenty five years ago when KKKlanada deployed actual literal tanks to crush a Mohawk uprising?

And how people still talk about how "brave" those soldiers were who went in to force people off their ancestral land in order to build a golf course

Atilla the Hun was brave even if someone is brave that doesn't make them not a piece of shit

I mean sure, but I wouldn't call soldiers going in with armour and armed with assault rifles brave when they're facing literal children and indigenous land defenders.

As much as I wanna give the land defenders credit and this photo is badass, I think there's a clear power imbalance that eliminates bravery. Like we wouldn't call the American soldiers at My Lai brave for attacking civilians
