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
Everyone is all "join an org" but this is literally every fucking org in the US
Not PSL. Not anti-imperialist issue orgs. Not most FRSO chapters.
That's the whole list though lol
Nothing in my area unless I want to drive like an hour or more to awkwardly stand around feeling like I don't belong and despair at once again being surrounded by libs
That sucks.
If you can find 1 other comrade you can always start your own org or chapter. Not that it's easy but it is a uniquely valuable experience.
I am literally afraid to express my political beliefs in public and am certain that I would lose my job too
Understandable
Deadass
I mean the article linked is written by an ML caucus within DSA. They believe there are avenues to make DSA better which is the point of this critique. No org is going to be a success if communists sit in the sidelines while the trots and socdems run wild.
And sitting around on my ass staring off into space accomplishes just as much
Actual communist orgs get slaughtered
Kinda sounds like you're using paranoia as an excuse not to get involved.
Actually it's a history of bullying and humiliating social failures and chronic pain so bad I get like four hours of sleep a night and I regularly hear the people around me refer to the homeless with a tone that says they think less of them than stray dogs but sure it's a moral failing on my part
