the_dunk_tank
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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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

Yesterday I was listening to the Know Your Enemy podcast episode on Blue Collar Conservatives which features an interview with two former blue collar conservatives. So much of what they said about their youths (particularly an emphasis on self-help books) reminded me of my own youth, even though I grew up in a lib house. It can sometimes be difficult to disentangle liberalism from conservatism.
Oh, why would that be, huh?
Like really, the only clear differences are their treatment of brown, LGBT and non-christian people. All the rest is basically "murican civil religion" and McCarthyism with slightly different levels of zealotry but the lines are very blurred.
It’s slow polite fascism versus fast impolite fascism.
Libs however think that communists and fascists are the same.
Fascists think that libs and communists are also the same.
