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 a certain extent this is true, but less so a political ideology and more "Isolated person who is terminally online" which happens to have a 1-1 overlap with both communists and fascists.
Let's be honest, well-adjusted people are not playing HellTaker and DDLC despite them being very good games. Most people play FO:NV once or twice and think it's pretty good. They don't install 500+ mods to try to escape from the meaninglessness of existing in a society in which you can neither influence nor find comfort in. It's just an unfortunate shared characteristic between us the far-right wing.
If most people on Hexbear had a safe existence, happy childhood, and meaningful social life then they would not be here.
I had all of these things, I just have a lot of free time at my email job.
Bro don't out me like this
I have those things, I just like to be right about things and ended up here by refusing more and more incorrect things.
you take that back
... Is this "Communists are just angry losers" but from the left?
It's "westerners as a group do not have the material basis to desire revolution because they live relatively comfortable lives so the people who disagree are isolated from society."
The only people for whom the violence and chaos of revolutionary war would be worth it are largely traumatized or marginalized individuals. It's why the vast majority of revolutions only happen in countries where the status quo was borderline hell. The idea that communists have better thoughts so they choose communism is pure liberal/idealistic ideology comrade.
Agree but theres also a number of comrades who were so spoiled that they fell into socialism as a way of rebellion and it likely made too much sense to leave.
I mean, I AM an angry loser, but not because I'm a pinko.
Come to think of it, yeah.
I cannot believe I was ever actually afraid of these people. Maybe they're only a threat because they outnumber us by the millions (never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups), but individually they're losers. Even the stereotypical right-wing bodybuilder, I have a cousin that fits the bill but he's your run of the mill republican rather than an outright fash.
