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

They're reducing the election of a free market extremist in Argentina into "haha libertarians are pedos" jokes.

Indeed, the people most likely to be welcoming to them are market radicals and if your worldview revolves around "everything must be allowed", then legalizing that is likely to happen.

When I was in grad school, my advisor used to respond to any question that began "Imagine a possible world where.." by just stopping the questioner and saying *no, I'd rather not."

Imagine the american president is 100 years old and dying of dementia. His last wish is one more genocide. Is it ethical for the Zionist Entity to do one?

There’s a hidden assumption that they’re properly orderable. They are clearly non-transitive.

That implies that we could use these options as an extremely cursed alternative to Rock Paper Scissors.
