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

these people are parodies of parodies, so far removed from reality that i'm shocked they don't dissolve into nothingness
idk if they're getting paid to torpedo any kind of nascent communist movement but they need to be treated like they are
They absolutely are, whether they actually know it or not. How many elements of the New Left culture, especially magazines, did we discover were infiltrated or cultivated by the government or the right over the decades because of their funding links? Now imagine instead of having to have an actual person, whose connections can be tracked, funding something like that you can just have dozens or hundreds or thousands of anonymous accounts donating cash through Patreon or whatever.
