the_dunk_tank
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

Rev Left Radio being called "Misleading" is so fucking bonkers to me.
Breht is such a thoughtful and genuine guy. And the show has so many guests on with differing perspectives. Like, yeah ok, some of those guests might say things one disagrees with, are debated within a given field, or are otherwise occasionally incorrect. But the ethos of that show is about getting the listener to know how to think, and thoughtfully approach things, from a broad left perspective. It's not just feeding you normative claims and calling it a day.
Anyway, go listen to RevLeft, Breht is such a gift
This is just a "supports author's worldview" chart. Peak liberal "reputable sources" ideology
Ad Fontes never analyzed or listened to the show. They noticed that it was "far-left" (it's in the name!). And far-left = biased = misleading/unfactual, by definition. It's that simple.
What is Ad Fontes and how did they even know about RevLeft? I feel like RevLeft is pretty off the radar.
Probably just searched "radical leftist podcast" and randomly assigned the list into the evil tankie zone.
Rev Left: "Marx said this: [Reads accurate quote.]"
Ad Fontes: "No he didn't"
Breht is fine, thoughtful, ok, but he comes across as condescending 80% of the time, and I find that really off putting.
