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

Amazon, the company owned by Washington Post founder Jeff Bezos, famously has what they call “Leadership Principles”. It is a list of values that they believe leaders should hold. One of those values is “Disagree and Commit” and according to the Amazon website it means you should vocalize your disagreement but when the rubber meets the road you need to commit fully. As a lib I respect Mr. John Bezos more than anyone else and I think you also should, Twitter guy. You could learn a thing or two from a Billionaire who is wise beyond his years.

Jeffrey Bozos most certainly is not a founder of the Washington Post, but he does own it

He starts and ends Zoom meetings by rubbing his hands together, doing the Kubrick stare, and intoning, "DEMOCRACY DIES IN DARKNESS." lord-bezos-amused
