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 already try Galt's Gulches, over and over again in basically lawless parts of the Earth, and they fail pretty fucking fast over and over again, often from internal backstabbing and fraud.

Okay but hear me out, what if we tried it again, but this time in S P A C E??

Literal vampire Th!el admitted seasteading was a failure, and then in the same speech said that's why spacesteading is next. galaxy-brain

Sure it fails when there's free breathable air, a comfortable temperature, many ways to simply leave, and it's easy and cheap to ship supplies, but what if none of those things were true, and also any equipment malfunction wasn't merely inconvenient but actively life-threatening?
