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

I had a roommate who was homeless for 20 years prior who made a Soviet bread line comment. I pointed out you gotta wait in line to buy bread anywhere, at least this was free, that totally changed his tune. He didn't know it was free bread. This was a dude who knew to get up early on Sundays cause churches did free meals those days and he'd go church to church, pack up those meals and store em in the fridge and that was his meals for the week. Once he realized it was a less painting the ass version of what he was doing and also guaranteed on not reliant on churches that he wasn't too into he changed his attitude immediately. It's amazing how anti communist propaganda makes something pretty normal into some sign of dystopia.

The easiest anti capitalist own is to remind d people to compare socialist states to other states that existed contemporarily or historically instead of comparing them to the absolute extent of ideals that you don't even believe in. If you can't do thst for a different ideology than you must do the same for your own.
