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 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

There's red toryism? That sounds like a real pain the the old brainpan
I've always considered it "Grandpa's conservatism", very old school in a way not really seen in the modern conservative movement.
My grandpa was a fox news grandpa so
Yeah, it's a very White Canadian kind of thing. Classic polite fascism kind of stuff. My grandpa used to try and get into fights with these kinds of people.
Your grandpa is automatically cool as fuck
Oh he was cool. Native ww2 vet, fought on the western front. Had a file opened on him because he was involved with unions and had connections to communist orgs. Brawled with fascists on a regular basis after the war. Worked for the railroad. Used to sing IWW tunes round the campfire. Would slip me five bucks whenever i was around so i can get a snack at the corner store. Had a soviet penpal for over 40 years, and visited him twice during the 90s with my grandma. I still have his uniform, his photos, and his letters. The guy was an amateur photographer, and liked to practice calligraphy and film.
Yeah no it’s an actual thing, although the red part is more metaphorical/relative. It’s sort of analogous to social democrats, the oppressive edge of aristocracy can be blunted with a robust welfare state.
