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

If you use that sort of 10 million foot view then everyone outside of AES states is a different shade of Nazi. This isn't a useful frame of analysis.
You wouldn't say the only Nazis in Nazi Germany were the leaders, right? Obviously their enthusiastic supporters were Nazis, too, and you might say the libs who went along for the ride were just a moderate type of Nazi. So if you're calling the political leadership of every country outside of AES states different flavors of Nazi, you're calling much of the world Nazis, which is what I mean by "not a useful frame of analysis." We have to go into detail enough to parse out which people can be brought around to our side and which can't.
Those two are useful to the extent they start people down the leftist path, and harmful to the extent people get stuck thinking they're the best possible solution. When we're talking to baby leftists we shouldn't say "this person who brought you left of the Democratic Party is a Nazi," because we'll sound unhinged, and because (as I outlined above) that's not useful analysis anyway. Our take on the Bernies and AOCs of the world should be "they have some good ideas, but here's where their failings are and why you should move past them."
