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

‘Ludicrous’ is a funny way to describe literally the only thing that has ever worked against fascism.
If only fascism had a long history of being opposed to show us which groups keep aligning with it, but alas.
One of the smartest things the libs ever did was focus on "hitler is evil" in order to prevent people from learning what conditions brought about fascism and how it related to capitalism. Economic determinism is not completely correct but great man theory covers up all economic elements entirely.
The best video on this topic is https://youtu.be/QO-7cymgtqo?t=1293
It answers the question "What creates fascism?" very thoroughly with materialist analysis.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
true capitalism has never been tried! c'mon!
We've only ever had crony capitalism guys, we've never had just capitalism!
lol, the only way capitalism beats fascism is in the masturbatory sense. Which, to give the devil his due, they do with great frequency and vigor
pressure Dems to fight fascism
Sounds great, doesn’t work
Dems think fascism is defeated by coming to a middle ground compromise with it
If we cheer hard enough, the Washington Generals will beat the Globetrotters
like some kind of third way, so to speak
it only has to work once to prove us wrong by contradiction and you still haven't given us a single example of it working
but maybe this time...
Tell the face eating Leopard party to fight the Leopards to own the Reds good luck with that
