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

yeah they love their thought-terminating cliches so much. most of them are so tied up in their self-congratulatory liberalism that they dont want an honest discussion with us. good faith “progressives” will eventually find their way to socialism, but the people of blahaj seem to be primarily middle class white liberals, so staying federated with them wouldnt be of much use to us. defederating probably brought more ppl here than months of federation would have.
it is a shame that these two large queer communities had to split. but, as a trans femme, my advocacy for liberation does not end with LGBTQ folks and women. we must fight for liberation of all workers, and that means we must fight for racial liberation, indigenous liberation, liberation of the neurodiverse and disabled, women’s liberation, LGBTQ liberation, national liberation, religious liberation etc.
one cannot support Ukraine in this conflict and be absolutely intersectional. hell, a queer instance should have plenty of criticism of Ukraine and NATO. but no, western media says Ukraine is heckin wholesome smol bean democracy, and they never lie! that is why we are incompatible w blahaj. they cant even manage to avoid supporting nazis who are killing us queer people and conducting several ethnic cleansing and genocide campaigns. they say “banderites arent nazis, bandera is all abt national pride” ignoring the historical fact that bandera was a nazi collaborator, while simultaneously spreading the Holocaust revisionist “double genocide theory” that was invented by nazis. they make excuses for Ukrainian soldiers sporting black suns, SS insignia, and swastika.
but we at hexbear are the real fascists! sure. i love my hexbear. we practice left unity and are legitimately safe for our trans members (i.e. NO CHASERS)
