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 bet women love being compared to a genocidal ethnostate founded on stolen land.
Germania is a slay kween
Germany, Britain, France, and the US have all represented themselves as women at one point so maybe there is some link between personifying a country as a woman and being a murderous imperialist.
the romans were the ones who started portraying Britainia as a woman while it was a colony
I thought the Germans portrayed their country as a man
Yeah but the Brits definitely ran with Britannia as a woman for many centuries after the Romans so I think it still counts.
As for Germany: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germania_(personification)
