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

Hold the fuck on, this person has a degree in philosophy?

People in the imperial core study philosophy and somehow don't read Marx? How the fuck can they understand anything of 20 century philophy let alone history without it?

Good lord.

Also, you don't become leftist becaus of some ultra nerd shit you read trying to be edgy, you become a leftist out of spite of this fucking world after reading a teaspoon of history or just watching the homeless walking in the street whule there is a fucking TV show about superyachts in the background.

#JustAngloThings

In most of Europe they still read Marx a lot.

There’s seemingly a very weird division between what’s studied within and without the Anglosphere. Students on “the continent” study Freud, Lacan, Marx, and Hegel, but you will only hear these characters mentioned with contempt (if at all) in Amurka. We’re stuck instead with Plato, Foucault, and George Orwell lol.

Plato, Foucault, and George Orwell lol

One of these things is not like the other

I soured on Foucault when I found out about his relationship with children.

I don't like giving bad news but this Plato dude...
