So America is a two-party democracy where

  1. One of those parties is fascist and trying to install a fascist dictatorship
  2. The fascist party will enact said dictatorship only after accumulating enough power through elections
  3. The fascist party will abide by the result of elections that are not in their favor
  4. Any actions to reduce the ability of the fascist party to participate in elections is undemocratic
  5. Anyone exercising their democratic right to vote for the fascist party is contributing to the end of democracy (via item 1) but cannot be prevented from doing so by any means other than cajoling on social media.

This make sense to everyone?

It's the dead end of political pacifism. If you refuse to respond violently to a violent attack you're actually a noble person that honors humanity and totally not a loser than enables the power hungry sadist to terrorise innocents

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
