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

A lot of people don't understand that there is a difference between liberal and leftist which makes them automatically assume that anyone speaking negatively of liberals must be a conservative. A consequence of Americans calling their centre right party "the left".
I think there's an even more pernicious problem, a lot of people understand the difference between liberal and left in theory, but they think of themselves as being leftist. They also think they are, right hand to God, as left as it gets, and anyone to their left is actually an authoritarian. This leads to these people becoming contrarians against everything actual leftists are saying or trying to accomplish in the real world, because they are the true arbiters of everything that is good and moral, and they don't think of it that way, therefore everyone else is a fascist.
Yeah I agree the fabrication of the idea of “authoritarianism” as some kind of irredeemable evil is as pernicious a brain worm or worse
For a political movement to actively despise "authoritarianism" is just stating from the start that you're allergic to wielding power. But the problem is that western left has a dogmatic aversion to wielding power.
