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 think squaring the circle here might be realizing that liberal identity politics are not international at all, because at their heart they're still imperialists. A liberal's vision of eliminating racism is what you said, they want domestic access to positions of power for all of a nation's internal ethnic groups. They want equal access to imperialism (for those who are already within an imperialist nation)

That vanishes from their brains when international people are considered, since a western nation's spoils rely upon cheap foreign labor and goods. Liberals do not see monetary exploitation of Africa by western powers as racist. They tend to not consider it at all.

Well, to be “fair” to these ghouls, when they ARE considering it, they wouldn’t care if the people living there were black or white as long as there was lithium underneath their houses. But that’s only relevant to ideological racism, not systemic racism which I think is what you’re talking about

Person literally named Adolph is definitely not right though

I still think it's racism that liberals promote. For instance, look at their reactions to when a terrorist attack happens to a European country versus somewhere like Southeast Asia.
