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

Just the eco-fascist narrative that climate change isn't caused by capitalism, but by too many people consuming resources faster than they can be replenished. I'm sure that's not a dangerous idea useful to anyone or anything. 
/r/collapse used to be mostly left leaning, if a bit lib and doomer sometimes. At some point, it got an influx of right wing reactionaries, and it was pretty much over then. They used to heavily police eugenicist rhetoric, and it mostly served as a climate change space that wasn’t just techno hopium about how carbon capture and nuclear power were going to save the world.
i get the doomer stuff. my theory is that the majority are super-depressed libs, and see any collective left action as too impossible/exhausting. so the few that aren't just of the "i will end my life the instant the power goes out" are just hoping the eco-fash take care of things for them
i mean, they're probably white and comfortable and figure they will survive purges restricted to the borders and the Global South
