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

The classic Nazi talking point, I love this one!

Umm achually they identify as a socialist, they're just "anti-authoritarian". You tankies wouldn't understandsmuglord

This one gets me the most.

"Tankie" literally just is a slur for socialists in modern parlance. It's basically just like calling someone "Anarkiddie"

It means fucking nothing and is used as a lazy reason for dissmissing one's views and goals.

"Tankie" and "authoritarianism" are two everclear signifiers that a person is talking out of their ass.
Edit: and whataboutism

lol yeah they hit lib bingo in that one post

also calling Mao's revolution "conquest" like bruh the only place that could even possibly apply to is Tibet and they were literally a SLAVE STATE. Fuck Tibet I'm glad they got liberated.

I really wish we had a :lib-bingo: emote. Might have to design one. What else would be on it tho?
