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

This is them trying to say they aren't a left anti-communist. Followed by this for good measure:

I already posted another dunk from this same thread, but this person is a goldmine of pretentious and unintentionally hilarious takes michael-laugh

Not really? We just generally have past history to point to for what happens when democratic socialists and communists attempt to be on the same side throughout history. Eventually, if push comes to shove, your particular political logic comes around to ally with the fascists you say you are against. I mean, you already are demonstrating the logic through your very discourse it's not a stretch to say that if there was an actual class revolution in the U.S. (as unlikely as that is) you would inevitably be on the side of 'law and order'. You seem to side against any socialist project that takes any kind of measures to defend itself against the imperial state's extractive capital.

Good luck with that democratic socialism though, I'm sure it's incredibly likely in the near future.
