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

That's not true. Discourse about ableism has been used in ways that are detrimental to the left, but what you're saying goes too far imo
not true at all (ironically an Elon Musk moment tho lmao)
concerning
Looking into it
ABLEIST
A made up word by Karl Kautsky in 1914.
Word was used to browbeat all dissenters of the social democrat ideology.
Still used to this day in the west to shut down all anti-capitalists.
Based on this meme
FACT CHECKED✅☑️✔️
Ableism was invented to destroy any leftist movement.
Rating: False
Explanation: Ableism is a form of discrimination and social prejudice against people with physical or mental disabilities. It is not a concept invented to destroy leftist movements. Ableism is rooted in societal attitudes and structures that devalue and marginalize people with disabilities, and it has historical and systemic dimensions that are not tied to the specific goal of undermining leftist movements. The origins and manifestations of ableism are complex and multifaceted, involving cultural, economic, and political factors that predate and transcend any particular ideological movement.
