    This bus is going in the opposite direction of where I’m trying to go. Why would I board the bus???

      In fact, it could easily be argued that it would be in your best interest to do everything in your power to stop the bus

      This is why analogies are useless as arguments

        Analogies are pretty great as arguments, in my experience. Bad analogies are obviously bad. And you can’t use them against redditors because their answer is always “ArE You rEAlLy coMpARInG thoSe TWo tHiNGs?” Like, yes, that’s the point of an analogy.

          I find they are easy to subvert to whatever they want, they’re good for explaining, but not arguing.

      That’s when the people throw the bus driver onto the street and take the bus where people actually want to go.

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 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

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
