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

Don't really have a take. These ghouls are discovering the Fediverse it looks like.

I was actually gonna give Red Famine the benefit of the doubt and read it but if this is the dumbass shit she says then cool. Just removed the book from my library.

Her scholarship has been torn apart for using bad data, cherry picking, completely trusting some sources for no reason, completely disregarding other sources as lies even when those sources are well corroborated…

It’s double genocide theory.

Yeah and yet she is referenced in articles. I just had to read a book on supposedly antiracism (pov Europe) and this ghoul appears on the reference list, I knew to look for it as the article itself was very much anticommunism dressed as nuanced academics.

Her scholarship has been torn apart by bourgeois historians, not just us tankies. I think even J Arch Getty, who I have a ton of respect for, tore into her book somewhere.

So she gave it the Black Book of Communism treatment, huh? Sort of embarrassed that I even stole the book now tbh.
