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 [email protected]
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
gets immediately owned
59 positive is enough for rule 8, right?
Link even though I'm a lib: https://lemmy.ml/post/14319237
The only people representing themselves as "communists" while actively vocally supporting reactionary policies from Putin are the American "national socialists"... wait, no it says "MAGA communists" here on the paper. My bad.
The nationalistic, reactionary, openly "conservative social values" guys trying to claim to be "true" communists/socialists.
I mean I guess if the liberals are tricked by all like 15 of those dipshits who even exist worldwide, it might explain some things. Probably less "being tricked" and more just willfully buying into confirmation bias to help themselves keep supporting a genocidal president.
And just in case there's any confused liberals reading this: Marxism is inherently against bigotries like anti-LGBTQ+, racism, etc. because Marxists can recognize that these are socially constructed divisions used by capitalists to divide workers and prevent solidarity. (And obviously this isn't a denial of historical and modern oppression of people from marginalized groups. That oppression is and was real. But differences amongst humans have been stigmatized and weaponized on purpose. For so long that some people believe this is "natural" unfortunately) You can't show solidarity only with straight white workers and expect to achieve worldwide socialism. It doesn't mean everyone who calls (or called) themselves a socialist was perfect and fully accepting of all people. That would be pretending people aren't flawed now or in the past. But fundamentally, it's a contradiction to call yourself a communist/socialist/left anarchist/whatever else similar and also support anti-trans, anti-gay, racist, etc. politics. That's playing into the wishes of capitalists on top of also just making you a shit human. (It's also a contradiction to support imperialism, especially when it's from the worst offender: the US or it's proxies)
Also there's like thirty of them. We know because they had a hilariously small convention, and then their group shattered over sexual harassment allegations.
