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 [email protected]
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

Surely they can tolerate a little looting. Say you really just need a little something to survive, and you only take what you need and you clean up the glass and leave an IOU?
Fuck the IOU. Small business tyrants will take out their rage over every stolen item on the one person who left an IOU and get them kidnapped and imprisoned by pigs after everything’s over.
It might work for small family businesses (actual small ones, not part of a local fiefdom) if there were a system in place with the understanding that the community would help rebuild businesses and make people whole after everything was done, but everyone would have to stick with it and trust it, including the business owners. That’s a hard sell and there aren’t many cities or towns in the US where it’s even worth trying anymore.
