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

It's simply not possible that random people who are genuinely afraid of climate changes are doing irrational things out of fear of climate change. (sarcasm) "There must be some evil rational actor forcing them to do this so that they make ME look bad."

Declaring this to be a psyop recenters the narrative around yourself. It makes the narrative not about climate change or people reacting to climate change in irrational ways but instead about themselves. Yesterday it was not even called a "psyop", people were just calling them feds. Adding "psychological" to the narrative inserts the self into the narrative. It's twitter brain.

Very well said.
