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

At this point I’m more convinced that anyone who claims to have escaped “communist oppression” on the internet is just lying about it

You are convinced correct. Hell i live in Poland and the amount of martyrology grows the more the more PRL is distant in past. And every single time i heard that and i asked for details it came up that it was either completely made up or some incredibly insignificant event like sitting in milita post for an hour before getting lectured on martial law or a day of jail and fine for vandalism.

It's usually pretty easy to spot too, they claim to have "escaped communism" but then speak like a 14 year old American teenager, I find it unlikely that a 50+ year old victim of the Evil Soviet Gulags in the 1980s would talk like that. At least the ones who claim their parent or grandparent "escaped communism" are slightly more believable, though it's pretty unlikely they're giving an accurate story about what really happened to their grandparent's egg monopoly.
