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

The lesser evil is still evil

And it's debatable if they even are truely any less evil than the GOP. Both are bad and should be opposed, not compromised with. They have blood on their hands.

The Democrat and the Republican both agree to the airstrike. The explosion kills innocent bystanders. The Republican gleefully says "fuck 'em." The Democrat solemnly says "collateral damage was unavoidable."

For liberals, justice is brutality.

For conservatives, brutality is justice.

“Evil is Evil. Lesser, greater, middling… Makes no difference. The degree is arbitary. The definition’s blurred. If I’m to choose between one evil and another… I’d rather not choose at all.”

― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

As long as we destroy humanity slightly slower than if we were the greater evil, the extinction of humanity will be sooo much better, aren't you glad you vooted sweaty?

Is the 'good cop' lesser evil than 'bad cop', if they are working together?
