Ya know, I used to think twitter-leftists were too hard journalists as a whole. Then I started working a job where I had to interact with them, and I’ve come to the conclusion that they are in fact all useless stenographers for people with actual power.

Way back when, I used to have this job where I got to be the one who operated the fax machine. I faxed press releases and boy, was I surprised to see them in the newspaper the next day. They’d also cut parts out or add their own words. WTF.

The telephone number on the press release was on my desk. Nobody ever called it to verify that the press releases were real. Not even once.

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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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
