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

— Ooh, baby! Maybe you can buy some sweet alcohol after. Maybe you can buy some speed.
for an anarchist they really like to defend the democrats
am i a joke to you Jack?
Vaush and "anarch-bidenism" have done terrible things to the online anarchist community.
I am kinda curious how anarchist communities find these radlib-that-call-themselves-anarchist communities that are often a lot larger than them
I mean you guys helped me think better of anarchists. Otherwise I would've considered all anarchists to be just liberals with an aesthetic.
But let's be honest we're all :lib:s here.
it's really fucking stomach churning. the greatest contribution of the anarchist tradition is an inoculation against false pragmatism and an undying urge to bite the hand that feeds. if you can't get a grasp on that, then anarchism offers you literally nothing but the aesthetics.
For an anarchist, they also really seem to like voting in bourgeoisie elections. Rejecting state power and the false dichotomy of US politics? Nah that's not anarchist, is...
"No veggies at dinner, no bedtimes" atomized consumerist "anarchy." Not even once.
what fucking rich guy do they even think we're sucking? fucking george soros or some shit? i'm so confused. i know they ain't talking about stalin, he died with a box of clothes and some papers to his name.
they don't know, they just know they have to angrily defend whatever rich guy is running their nation, so tankies must be doing the exact same thing
they claim we support Xi and Putin. (And by support Xi they mean in a weird cult of personality way, not like the normal support we have for the CPC). They also claim to not support Biden, but insist we all for him or the fascists win or something
Xi and Putin

Another reply they sent today, where they explain their evangelizism, and claim we've been misled into supporting Xi (as an individual) and Putin
People learn about atrocities and lies in U.S. history and that seems to make them think that enemies of the U.S. must be good, but that's a fallacy.
It's always 
to the point of shadowboxing lmfao
ah yes, hexbear, home of the Putin enjoyer. of course.
Oh I alright
Every election I vote for PSL
theres one of them soros foot soldiers runnin around here idk
I am guessing they are using the same logic as the article during the cold war that states that Stalin was the richest man to ever live because his dictatorial control of the USSR was so strong, we can attribute all property and economic activity in the USSR as his personal wealth.
they think xi is chinese bill gates
Imagine being so anti-Marxist as a self-titled anarchist that you start riding for ancaps 
That's what happens to your brain on political compass bullshit. It flattens their understanding of politics to a place where they think they have some sort of shared beliefs with right wing ghouls if they place themselves on that side of the "authoritarianism axis." The same way it lets them do nazi apologia by calling us "red fash"
He clearly called you rad fash there comrade. Not sure what that is but I imagine skateboards are involved in some way
Imagine being an anarchist that participates in bourgeoisie liberal democracy. Literally one of the core principles of anarchism is the rejection of that.
Yea because communism is totally about individualism.
An anarchist that participates in bourgeoisie liberal democracy? What kind of anarchist is that? One of the core principles of anarchism is the rejection of liberal democracy. Have they actually read any anarchist theory? Why do they think the black bloc participates in riots and direct action after every presidential election in the USA?
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/category/topic/anti-voting
And they participate in liberal democracy to vote democrat to protect trans rights. When pressed with evidence of denocrats vetoing a pro trans bill, they proceeded to defend that action by the democrats. I honestly can't imagine having that little of a backbone.
I don't think local voting is bad, but relying on electoralism is the main problem...
anarcho-bidenists are real
i don't know much about this, and maybe none of the examples are anarchists, but isn't there a history of revolutionaries participating in the electoral process before revolutions?
There is a history of that, but not by anarchists.
A liberal who likes the aesthetics
Lmao it took them 9 days to come up with that?
The liberal brainpan is incapable of conceiving people taking action without the directions of a rich person or evil dictator. Actions that go against liberal views, that is.
Massive "but Bill Gates is one of the good ones" energy radiating from that post.
communism is when i have my rich powerful guy beat up your rich powerful guy
Won't somebody think about the rich powerful people!
Only someone stuck the preoperational stage of cognitive development can be this reductive about an ideology.
