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

In invocations of settler colonialism, Berkowitz hears progressives giving up on effecting change through political means. “The left has replaced its faith in proletarian subjects and utopian solutions with a view of the Indigenous as innocent and oppressed. It’s an ethics rather than a politics.”

What the fuck does this even mean?

It means the only valid form of politics is vote liberalism

They're doing what what's called class reductionism but doing it for real instead of the imagined thing liberals think we do

It reads more like: "Faith in proletarian subjects and utopian solutions" devoid of ethical considerations...

geordi-yes

Using the science of ethics to inform your political position about the real world...

geordi-no

Typical liberal rag, esoteric navel-gazing only/no realpolitik allowed... There's nothing quite as pathetic as watching a liberal wonder about the world.

I wonder what these liberals mean by "the left" in this context?

yea ima be honest leftists need to stop talking like that yesterday

tbh it sounds more like a liberal thing, or at least someone who hasn't given up on the USgov

it has the same vibes as "institutional racism" where you constantly repeat the passive-voiced option so it sounds less bad and alarming (don't @ me, instutions are just full of racist crackers and their lapdogs, 99% of the time "institutional" racism is literally just normal-ass racism)
