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

"Everyones favorite person in history did something wrong" is such flattening apologetics. This is the same as double genocide theory. Its only use is to make Nazis look better and smear communists.

Its not that a figure like Stalin was perfect, but their is a difference between any critism of him and any US president, because he was involved in a socialist project (building up and safeguarding the USSR, and defeating fascism). US presidents "doing something wrong" are advancing the intetests of a white supremacist empire, or personal enrichment (like owning slaves).

"I want to remove our violent oppressors by any means necessary so we can be free and happy" - Bad violent leftist who ruins parties

"I knowingly sent material support for a genocide resulting in the deaths of 300,000+ people literally being gunned down in the street, oopsie doopsy everyone makes mistakes" - "Wholesome" "Nicest fucking dude"
