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

Don't watch this

It's not worth it

But if you are a glutton for punishment like me, this is it. This is what Bernie libs turned NAFO reddit guys think is smart and meaningful and might be suitable to deprogram tankies

My guy really just confidently says the CIA doesn't do regime change anymore because they failed once or twice, and that the concept of color revolutions is actually a grand conspiracy theory claiming that all revolutions are done via CIA mkultra/Inception style fomentation. And that its just the horseshoe theory version of cultural marxism because actually left and right are the same and his "centrist" war crime loving ass is the only reasonable one

Wow what a surprise, liberals whitewashing the Indonesian military coup and the Jakarta Massacres as just a "pro US uprising" surprised-pika

Also acting like the CIA weren't involved is just ridiculous, literally even Wikipedia has a section on the US involvement:

Despite a consensus at the highest levels of the U.S. and British governments that it would be necessary "to liquidate Sukarno", as related in a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) memorandum from 1962, and the existence of extensive contacts between anti-communist army officers and the U.S. military establishment – training of over 1,200 officers, "including senior military figures", and providing weapons and economic assistance – the CIA denied active involvement in the killings. Declassified U.S. documents in 2017 revealed that the U.S. government had detailed knowledge of the mass killings from the beginning and was supportive of the actions of the Indonesian Army. U.S. complicity in the killings, which included providing extensive lists of PKI officials to Indonesian death squads, has previously been established by historians and journalists.

there's no proof the CIA was directly involved we just trained all the officers who carried it out, provided the lists for the death squads, and supported the atrocities in every way except literally carrying them out ourselves. Great.

they literally even sent them the guns they used to slaughter the communists too
