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

Benjamin Franklin: Observations Concerning the Increase of Mankind (1751)
Zamn... the world will never again reach this level of racism,,, the westfalen
I bet we’ll see it again as material conditions deteriorate
He also called Germans swarthy/dark-skinned.
He called Swedes swarthy, the guy was operating on a whole different level of racism.
Look at these swarthy Eastern hordes!
Those Germans in Pennsylvania nearly had the constitution (and thus following legal documents) be written in German as well. I feel like that's a possible shift in how future immigrants would have been assimilated, if there were precedent to allowing non-English at that level, maybe there'd be at least more pronounced and longer lasting non-English speaking communities rather than defaulting to the English dominated WASP culture that is hegemonic. Idk just mayo thoughts
