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

Communism is when first world crackers make up utopias in their heads and then do nothing except criticize non-white countries

the soviet union and china weren't communist. I also don't like scary angry communists like various independence movements around the world, they look like the people they call "terrorists" on the news. when I say I'm a communist I mean I want to have a nice real communist country like Sweden, where they have a semi-functional healthcare system and communist parties get 0.5% of the vote and the party that wants to make being a foreigner illegal gets 57.5%

"Totalitarian" is arguably the most meaningless word, ever. Also, imagine being haunted by the specter of a country that hasn't existed since probably before you were born. Oh no! The big bad soviets are going to rise from the grave and steeeeeal yooooour graaaaaaain!

All political economies are totalitarian, save those in a state of upheaval. The fact they dont see capitalism as all encompassing and forcing a person to conform to it every second of the day is incredible.

State sponsored troll farms which existed for more than a year before these dipshits even heard of this platform.

Lol the pathos of still thinking the scary Bolsheviks win every time (and it's BAD ok???)
