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

Liberals/democrats

We hate them, yes

Bernie Sanders and AOC

A lot of people were radicalized by Sanders in some way so many have a soft spot for him, but we recognize that he's ultimately just a social imperialist

Current Communist countries (or, as we refer to them, Actual Existing Socialism)

There's some debate but the Hexbear Party Line, so to speak is probably something like:

  • Critical support for China, DPRK, Vietnam
  • Uncritical support for Cuba
  • I don't think anybody knows much about Laos (and Nepal too, probably?) but generally they're viewed positively

Libertarians, Conservatives, Fascists

same-picture (and yes we hate them all)

I think Nepal is a liberal state with a minority communist party presence, but critical support regardless on anti-imperialist grounds
