It’s a bit like saying “The goal of Postum is to achieve coffee’s goals of pleasant flavour and mental stimulation while opposing caffeine.” At first glance it doesn’t seem any more disingenuous than other types of hot-beverage advertising copy, but what’s left unsaid is that Postum has never achieved either of those things, no one with inside knowledge expects it to, and its core audience doesn’t seem to care.

it’s more like saying “our goal is to achieve the pleasant flavour of coffee while opposing the process of agriculture”

Create post

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
