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

Prosecutors are always wholesome chungus 100 and only go after bad guys, right?
As a convicted drug felon whose local DA went on to become a corrupt governor, I reel at the "felon" pejorative that libs now seem to relish in. You can have a discussion with them about the PIC, the doubling of the prison population over a 2 decade period, and all sort of other stuff and they will nod along and even agree and then turn around and still assume all felons are bad and we need to support our cops. It's the same shit with "terrorist" for those who lived through the Bush era and saw the term cynically deployed as cover for wars which saw a million people murdered and an entire region sent into disarray reflexively respond credulously whenever the term is used to justify a new genocidal campaign.
*Ha! I used the word "corrupt", another loaded term that is often weaponized in the same manner. Really said governor was just doing standard governor stuff that most all politicians do in bourgeois democracy.
A.k.a. slaves
Facts. I get so much pushback from libs about this though. I just hit em with
Someone dug up an old tweet from around the 2020 primaries where she was bragging about prosecuting sex criminals like Donald Trump.
No way she can use that now considering it could be directed at Democrats too, including one former and one current president.
