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

I wonder whats Stalin's take on how to deal with people with "conservative values"

In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty.

True. But that doesn't mean we should show any tolerance towards transphobia, racism, etc. Actual solidarity and support for total liberation for all is the only way to combat the divide and conquer strategy. All this patsoc shit has been tried before; I'd recommend reading Settlers, Black Bolshevik, George Jackson, and shit like that for good explanations of why it's a dead end.

I completely agree, just because someone's ignorance was taken advantage of doesn't mean we should infantilize them. Showing any toleration for their bigoted bullshit just gives merit to it. And thank you, I'll check those out

How did Obama convince you to back down? What did comrade Chris Paul say about it?

Barrack threatened henceforth to cancel Taco Tuesday permanently. CPUSA is now a religious organization that channels its energy into getting Chris a ring before retirement
