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

MODERATORS
I mean, you can vote for a lesser evil and also work on changing the system entirely so that it's not evil any more.
So, what's your plan for reforming Nazi Germany from within? By the way, should we vote for Goebbels or Himmler?
like I said in other comments, I'm not saying you should only try changing the system from within. voting doesn't take a lot of time though, and I don't see why you shouldn't use the methods within the system to try to make it get shitty less quickly while ALSO trying to change the system in other ways. unless you're an accelerationist I guess. I don't see any harm in voting for the lesser evil as long as you don't use it as an excuse to not also do other stuff. you can do both, and I'm worried that people that act like it's either or might make things worse than they're already going to be.
