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

It doesn't. That's partly why I'm confused, if one of the major criticisms of the US is our fascist system, then why the support for Russia and their fascist system?

Where have you seen literally anyone supporting Russia's "fascist economy"

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nowhere, which is why I asked the question to clarify. I'm trying to remove my assumptions and gain understanding.

That’s a great attitude to have, you will learn a lot that way! I recommend also looking into books by people like Michael Hudson (especially Super Imperialism), etc, if you’re interested in further reading about this stuff.
