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

Western "leftists" are so goofy, it's legitimately embarassing. Who turns down an option to meet a head of state, period, especially one willing to discuss your personally listed grievances? Clown shit.

I wouldn't used the word goofy here, it was a person who ostensibly wanted to talk about embargo but not with the head of state suffering from that embargo? The only possible conclusion is that they are in fact supporting it because it is de facto identical stance to the US government which would also wanted to talk about it but not with the current Cuban government.

The word is "reactionary" and "imperialist".

Fair point, "goofy" doesn't really get the point across, deliberately sabotaging your stated goals means your actual goals remain unstated.
