For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
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 bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.

MODERATORS
The definition of modern "centre-left"/"social democratic" politics. Call yourself a leftist, use the colour red a lot, claim to feel an affinity for the working class, claim to believe in democracy and human rights.
But fundamentally you still support the power structures which uphold capitalism and western hegemony. Case in point, NATO.
This way you can claim all the social prestige that comes with labelling yourself as a leftist lover of peace, equality, and fairness without having to actually commit to anything too radical which makes you uncomfortable.
It's plastic socialism. Legitimate socialist politics do not demand support for NATO.
