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

"Like what the fuck can even be done at this point?"

The rallying cry of every western leftist, whine, complain, but make 100% sure to never, ever do anything useful while insisting you're the "real left" instead of those awful meanie head tankies.

What capitalist realism does to a mf:

We are living in a world where radical change is impossible. The system which run the world are so complex that they won't change when some political party decides something. Even if some random Marxist-Leninist group would do a revolution in the US, nothing would really change. The systems are already beyond human control. [...] Leftist should just stop living in their ideological fantasy world shaped by 19th century philosophy. That world ended a long, long time ago. There is no longer a class war going on. The classes have dissolved and we are living permanently precarious lives. Daddy Marx doesn't have answers to current questions.

These are the same people who tell others they are "the real socialists"

This sounds more like post left anarchism than Vaushism honestly

I was kind of on the fence about that subreddit being run by feds, but this is like, exactly how a fed would try to tell people to give up and not fight the system.

The comments are about what you would expect from vaushists.

Ignorant and delusional.
