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
something something specter something Lemmyverse 
It's that person that thought Putin wants to reinstate the USSR and refused to denounce Israel without equating Palestinian "guilt." 
They wandered into a dunk tank post, debate perverted, and whined on Lemmy.world
Yeah there's a commenter pointing that out in the thread and laughing at how bad the OP was at having a discussion
they’re less like the meeting room of a communist party than like the bar where those communists hang out and drink beer, after the meeting is over.
I actually really like this description. I'm amazed at the number of people in this thread who actually somewhat get it. It's heartening <3
Fucking lol!
Great username there too.
You cited 
a known crackpot
EABOD again? This dude just recently got absolutely chewed as bad faith debate pervert on the very same issue so they went to their safe space to unwind and still got chewed? Lol, lmao even.
I'm the proud commenter who spent 1h of my life reading through the bullshit links he was sending me, writing down a summary of the "information" contained in the links, and then replying to him. It was exhausting and pointless because ultimately they weren't acting in good faith, but hey, at least some of you remember
Folks is our reputation improving? I'm seeing pretty even splits in terms of people defending our instance vs. scratched libs. Some even saying we changed their minds on things.
Crumbling material conditions and the Palestinian genocide.
The US backing of Israel as well as the genocide getting more traction in the public mind has lifted the veil for a lot of "libs who only called themselves libs because they believed it was the left leaning side".
You can tell the US is SUPER pissed that the truth about Palestine got traction. (The whole reason they want to ban TikTok is because they believe that was the weak link in their control of the narrative)
Yeah I think global platforms showing the genocide have been a massive problem for libs. It's hard to feel morally superior to someone while you're defending the people mutilating children on a post showing the mutilated kids. It starts to puncture the illusion of being the reasonable good guy when you're telling people to ignore the bodies.
I definitely saw a few who specifically said that if you engage in good faith that Hexbear isn't bad.
We are really nice actually
Just have a zero tolerance policy for imperialist propaganda

I'm flattered that they're still malding over a comment I made more than a year ago. Dot world libs only wish they had that kind of posting power.
I’ve never heard of communism being an economic framework before, I thought it just meant a system without capitalism or a state. Do you have something short I could read about communism being an economic framework?
Ya'll need Marx
it just meant a system without capitalism or a state
Honestly that's still better understanding than 95% of chuds and libs who are like "gommulism is when no fud"
Listen, I'm all for dunking on shitlibs, but if someone's literally asking for reading recs on communism, I think we should at least try and give them something. Maybe I'm just being naive or my sealion detector is bad or something, but this to me seems like a good faith request, even if it's very ignorant.
Half of the comments are people defending us, with language that's more persuasive than I could do myself. I'm honestly touched.
Yeah it seems like maybe real experience with us is changing opinion more broadly. I was expecting a dogpile.
lol
Hexbear is sort of like a village of eldritch abomination worshippers in a Lovecraftian horror story - isolated, insular, entirely wrapped up in their own esoteric rituals and ideas and language, and immediately and collectively hostile to outsiders.
The Shadow Over Hexxsmouth
the people blocking blahaj 196 for being too left wing lmfao
If you’re saying I’m calling their viewpoints crazy, I’m not. I didn’t get a view point besides I’m pig slop, a piece of shit, brainwashed by the empire (whatever the hell that means), stupid, a basement dweller, and today, I think they called me a pervert
TAGLINE
This is my exact same experience. I ask for someone to elaborate on their stance, get told (not accused, told) I’m trolling. Ask for explanation/definition of a concept, get called an idiot shitlib and told to read some theory. Ask for civility, get told I deserve abuse for “endorsing genocide”. (By the way, I absolutely oppose the genocide in Gaza. But I’m a genocide supporter I guess because I won’t flush my vote third party this November.)
tfw Hexbear wants you to vote third party???? Who is advocating for this???

New tagline just dropped
There's never been one of these "Hexbear is mentally ill because they disagree with me" threads that hasn't been result of someone coming here and getting banned after posting in bad faith. -- Surprisingly, it seems that the rest of the fediverse is increasingly aware of that.
The OP of that thread has been banned from hex several times because they're a debate pervert who keeps insisting they're open to new information and then refuse to budge when given that information. The worst kind of white liberal MLK wrote of, who is perfectly polite but steadfastly opposed to change. Every time they've posted you can see they're trying to sway us over to their malformed, petty worldview, and it never works because we're all so terminally online we can see through that shit.
It's just reddit again over there, oh man.
mfw I realize I am a member of an insane Lovecraftian cult community that worships eldritch abominations

For the uninitiated, crazy = not believing the invasion of Ukraine was step one in Putin's plan to restore the USSR
Oh no not tankies! Anyways how about sending more tanks to seig heiling nazis in 
and those genocidal fascists in 
?
This post brought to you by the totally sane War is Peace Department 
It ssems at least some commenters recognize how ridiculously anti leftist lemmitors tend to be:
I literally recognize a good deal of the ones complaining about hexbear as those serial arguers who are salty they got banned for being shit at arguing
beepbeepbEEPBEEPBEEP
Too cute.
Once again I'm reminded other instances exist and that they're still taking about us.
So many dumb posts
since '23.
