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

It's a not uncommon belief here that the USSR was chauvinist, even amongst trans accepting feminists. They are wrong, but it's literally just "USSR bad" levels of knowledge and analysis

I think it's fair to say that there were unacceptable failures. soviet pro-natalist policy for example was ultra cringe for a long time and they ought have known better. that being said, though, what are we comparing it to? the ussr must have seemed like a city on a hill to e.g. english women in the 1920s. libs are always harping on about soviet Ls while nervously nudging their own contemporaneous skeletons behind the sofa
