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

Honestly its rude to be invited by a country to meet their president who decided to respond to your criticisms of their administration only to not show up and go meet the opposition.

Being invided and then no showing shows complete disregard to basic diplomatic Etiquette since it was a mission to show solidarity against the embargo

Bonus socdems being cringe part 4.5: about another member that didnt show up to the presidential meeting

Deeply unserious people

The person she interviewed is a journalist who is mostly famous from their coverage of the small San Isidro movement, which is NED funded and supports Trump and the blockade. So yeah, indirectly it is fed shit 100%. The only question is if she’s just naive or if she’s malevolent

I always wonder if these people are naive useful idiots or actually malevolent like you just asked. I guess it doesn't matter in practice, but I am curious too when it comes to her and others. Westerners are chauvinistic enough to just be this naive unfortunately. I was like that when I was a baby leftist (repeating bullshit about authoritarianism and both sides, etc.) and unfortunately I see that a lot of my "leftist" friends and acquaintances fail to grow past it. Idk my point, I guess I'm just lamenting

Astonishing levels of arrogance and chauvinism

Either way it's a bad look, you're either being used as a tool of the US government or you're directly acting as an agent, shit is so wild

She's a naive Trot. They're cultish and this is part of their beliefs: undermine every country run by a communist party because they're "Stalinist" and preventing true socialism from taking root (true socialism comes from Trotsky's formulation alone).
