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

To liberals, holding the right opinions is praxis. Having done their "praxis", they can use it to bludgeon actual leftist praxis, lest you interfere with the benefits their performance provides.
They achieve not trans, indigenous, or queer liberation, but a feeling of superiority and self content that provides enough moral licensing to justify whatever bastard shit they need to excuse. Being a good opinion haver™ lets them continue doing nothing with their ego unscathed.
This strengthens the dialectical relationship between doing nothing & reaction, effectively putting action in the corner. Status quo maintained.
They love minorities until those minorities want to do literally anything than vocally support their current neoliberal savior.
Kind of like how all the back bench "promising future leaders of the democratic party" are just minority neoliberals.
We've got the gay neoliberal who's deffinitly not a Cia spook.
We've got the black lady neoliberal who thinks pot should stay illegal so we can continue using slave labor
We've got the cool young hip swearing neoliberal who's main policy is telling Texans explicitly he's going to take their guns.
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a
