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

Tank is not an offensive weapon anymore.

Tanks are inherently, like, super freakin' rad. idk why anyone would ever think it is an effective insult lol i wish i was in a tank right now (or at least one of those cool 8-wheeled gun carrier/APC thingies)

Now I just reply to them that I'm an adult who wears a diaper and I hate tankies too. No matter what Stalin Big Spoon tantrum follows, I just wholesale agree with it as an adult wearing a diaper.

This is unfair to all our ABDL comrades

It's not a fetish thing. I just feel safer, like tankie disinformation can't reach me if I'm wearing my diaper. I can sit there in my diaper and support Ukraine in peace.

I'm not going to stop calling tankies red fascists because words don't have meanings they only have emotions and I'm very upset at them

Love how this all relies on the belief that posting is praxis, and that by posting "tankie" you are saving the world from a future unspecified global dictator.

I think they are a legitimate threat to freedom

Lol. Feel like you should be prioritizing the legislators taking away your freedom and not some guy with a Stalin profile picture making fun of Europeans for buying marked up Russian oil from India

Bringing back memories of "the just stop killing people you fucking dicks" meme that would surface on reddit over a decade ago.

Left of Bernie is far too generous. I've seen Trumpsters and even other liberals called tankies by internet libs for not supporting nuking Russia. More like left of Reagan, Thatcher, and Himmler.

If you are more concerned with "authoritarian" (read: "practical") leftism than you are with actual nazis then you have my utmost disrespect.
