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

second-plane Mr president, the predominantly cis radlibs claiming that "all tankies are transphobic" are about to visit the trans tankie website and discover we're even more far left because of our queerness, not despite it

What do these people even suggest doing about billionaires? Every time you try to tell these Anti-Radical trolls their own country needs revolution, or just massive economic restructuring, they get all hesitant and mopey about their precious suburban comfort like it's natural. These are people who excised themselves from the vast majority of the global Left so they'd never have to interact with anything/one too alien from themselves.

Mostly they'd rather sit in some virtual fantasy land talking about Fully-Automated-Space-Communismbutnotthatkindactuallymoreofa-... etc. But they never make any plans, never mentally prepare themselves for any kind of sudden upheaval or violence, never point to real figures who could represent them on a higher stage with any influence, Hell I get the impression these types don't even do food drives or neighborhood relief programs anymore... Because they use those far-off perfectionist fantasies as a SUBSTITUTE to real, flawed organizing. So really, they're not pointing out billionaire distribution per capita to expose the ruling class - just to make another movement's work harder. They're undermining radicals who'd rather just be allies because the purest and correctest darlings of Anarcho-Perfecteverythinginstantlyism must win the footrace to being Heroes of the People or else they'll get bored from the lack of trophies and go home.

Starting to think those personality traits are correlated. Just pure uninterrogated imperial core narcissism.
