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

MODERATORS
They also posted a nato flag with the words "gay right are non-negotiable" unironically, bunch of vaushites
No matter, I shall simply post harder.
The GDR insignia makes everything cooler
Big disagree.
State sponsored gay bars go brrrrrrrrrrrr
lol ya we know loser now get back in ur locker
Lol. Hie thee back to whencever rock thou lurk beneath!
QUEER ARE NON-RIGHTS NEGOTIABLElol originally I had the spacing between "queer" and "rights" as well as "are non-" and "negotiable" not be as big, but it was hard to read when they were on the white stripe. Alas.
Hell yeah.
The allies marched gay people right back into the camps they liberated. LGBT people have been getting shit on for a long time, it's disingenuous to act like it's somehow specific to communists
That's a GDR flag (also known as East Germany), at the time the GDR had some of the best LGBT rights in the region.
What does Stalin have to do with that? Not every communist symbol is Soviet. Please actually bother to do some basic research before responding.
I love that the lore for the GDR's state funding of gay culture was a bunch of Stasi dorks sitting around a table going "gay people are a huge security risk because if NATO discovers them they could be blackmailed with the threat of being outed." And then someone is like "well what if we just normalized homosexuality and funded gay culture, periodicals, clubs, discos, and made it safe and encouraged for them to be out in society?" And all the stasi people are like "brialliant!" Coming to the right conclusion in the most bizarre way.
Makes me think about how easy it was to turn US spies and intelligence agents because they always had housing or medical or gambling debt so the soviets could just offer them cash to cover the problems their salaries didn't.
That's fair, actually.
Hey! Thanks for visiting! You should check out Cuba's family code!
Cuba is actually cool, I've thought that for a long time. Of all the Communists I think Castro did it best, and he made life measurably better for Cubans. I cannot say the same about the Soviet Union or the PRC.
I'm glad you're supportive of Cuba. Thats a good step in the right direction. But I can't agree with you about the USSR or PRC because while they both made humongous missteps quality of life on average measurably improved for citizens of both countries, and there are many statistics that show that. I'm more critical of both countries than most people here (I won't even BEGIN to defend population transfers in the USSR) but I would still definitely argue against the idea that those countries didnt make "life measurably better" for the majority of their citizens compared to what came before those country's respective revolutions.
who has the best laws for queer people in the world?
If we're going to talk about random other socialist countries, Cuba has covered all costs of medical transition under their nationalised health service since 2008
Compared to literally every country in NATO, yes
Funny. Years ago I sent a letter to European Union asking them to force participating countries to pass LGBT protections. They basically told me in a very polite way "sorry, can't / won't do". NATO does even less than EU.
NATO recently refused Mette Fredriksen as their new president particularly because she had done too much for LGBT rights when she was prime minister of Denmark.
Classic Nazito.
Death to NATO
What if it was GAYTO and it was run only by gay countries like Belize and Thailand?
idk what country
is, but they should join because all the people from there are extremely pretty and i've heard a lot of them say about themselves that they are very gay.
~~Another blahaj user called it out and the user deleted it and apologized.~~
Edit: I was thinking of a different post, but this was removed.
Not seeing this apology anywhere
Here
It was
but they thought better of it.
Ah, okay. I thought you were talking about the user posted in the OP of the thread
Oh my mistake, I got the posts mixed up, this was also removed but I don't think the user apologized, sorry.
Yeah I checked their post history and nothing
“Turkey and Hungary do not represent NATO!!!”
