edit: GUYS fuck stalin and fuck tankies, period. i understand that this community is more sensitive than most to pro-stalinist vibes, and i apologize for unintentionally twinging that nerve, but you need stop calling each other (and me) slurs.
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
Ah, close! I would add that it's not just the belief that things were better in the past; you have to also try to re-create the past, try to reenact it, to be reactionary.
If you're in politics maybe. Otherwise it seems you'd mostly yell at clouds and tell the young ones how they should lead their lives
Belief alone does not make you anything. It's your actions that decide what you are. If :yells-at-cloud: and chastising the youth is all someone does, maybe they'd have a tendency to reactionary politics -- if they start doing anything else.
They do vote conservative (which I must assume affiliates them), but that's only every few years, so it can hardly be described as something they do often. There's also blaming the immigrants and LGBT people and complaining about any and every environmental cause and acting smug that there's seemingly nothing to be done to avert climate disaster.
