1. Dying of heatstroke in the summer due to global warming and not having an air conditioner in your fifty-year- old rental apartment that costs £5 million on the market
  1. Freezing to death in the winter because the Labour government just cut your fuel allowance
  1. Cheering with your mates every time migrants drown crossing the Channel
  1. Burning to death in a tower block due to the complete negligence of every single responsible party
  1. Being so transphobic that your family can no longer be around you
  1. Waking up every morning and not taking to the streets to overthrow the inbred hereditary aristocracy that rules over you

The good thing about British English is that there’s never going to be any confusion about “paedo” as in “paedophile” and “pedo” as in “torpedo”, at least in writing.

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
