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.

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

Scratch a labour voter and a "not racist, just don't like 'em" bleeds

What does insufferably woke even mean? The left needs to be better at the trick where you adopt some weird word for your opponents and distort it's meaning until it's only definition is "bad".

Idk, the way Tory is used as an insult is basically that to a lesser degree

I only see Tory used as "one who supports conservative policies". Obviously it consequently also means you're bad, but I don't see it applied to people who don't do the first thing.

Idk I've seen it used for someone who's generally selfish or wealthy regardless of their political opinions

The one nuance is that a Tory is pro-monarchy which is why you don’t see it used for US conservatives but Trudeau for example absolutely is a fucking Tory and so is Keir

The problem is, Tory is bound to a specific political party in one country, which woke isn't
