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

That thread is a goldmine of headlines, starting with "I'm a dirty commie removed hippie dick suckin left wing lib (not a meme, I am literally a Liberal Democrat)"

They are so poisoned by neoliberal propaganda they think that they are they most left position humanly possible, so anyone that disagrees with them MUST be right wing. They can't imagine a position more left than them. They don't even comprehend what that position could possibly look like

I can't believe that liberals think they are the end point of the left, the most fanatical egalitarians, and that everyone else is trump or hitler.

it spits on the graves of millions of communists who did far better than they ever will

they will try to erase us from history if its the last thing they do

Reminds me of comments you'll sometimes see on /r/shitliberalssay. Just zero political or historical literacy.

Prominent German-American Marxist August Willich was a supporter of the Republican Party.

before i got into communism the most exposure i had to communist people in history was right wing people making "edgy" jokes about them, so it makes sense to me in a way

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

i don't think they actually believe we're right-wing, i think they're just being passive aggressive in a Certified Civilized Liberal voice

if ukraine wanted to have a global power looking after them they shouldn't have left the soviet union.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

That's what 70% of Ukrainians voted for. The breakup of the Soviet Union was illegal and against the will of its people.
