There’s two ways to win the “Debate” game.

  • Find someone higher-profile than yourself, and “Debate” to garner a higher profile with more clout

  • Find someone you can dunk on, and “Debate” to create self-promoting content.

These folks are all just feeding on each other in an endlessly ravenous ouroboros of clout chasing. They won’t stop because the goal isn’t to “win” the debate. You’re just raising your own profile while churning out more slop for the hogs.

He would have been infinitely cooler by just saying ‘fuck you nerd’ when asked to debate. They’re just performative bullshit. You’re not liking the ideas. You’re liking the person.

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
