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

Prolewiki, the marxist-leninist encyclopedia, removed an administrator who tried to sabotage the project (you can see the evidence in the linked tweet). Therefore he was removed.

It took the infras a few minutes to find the tweet and start brigading it.

What else can I add? Their "huge" community and their "magacommunism" that will totally save the USA has like 920 members in their Telegram. They are less relevant than your local Five Guys that sees more traffic in a half day.

But they deploy a "point and shoot strategy" where one of them will signal your tweet and the rest will swoop in and post the most asinine stuff they can think of (definitely quantity over quality is important), boost each other, and just drown you out.

Hope this is the right community to post in, it was hard to decide.

A collective of content creators, led by Haz who's also their most known figure. He's known for having terrible takes about most things and generally being a joke (for example he confidently said women have "two holes below the waist" on stream, or saying only industry workers are proletariat and service workers don't count).

Recently they've been pushing "MAGA Communism" which... didn't go over well at all over on truth social (Trump's twitter). I think they're trying to distance themselves from the shitshow that was the CPI (the Maupin think tank) after the abuse allegations came out against Maupin and they dissolved the CPI.

Ah, thank you. Is Haz the himbo that regularly gets posted around here?

Haz actually had an account here at one point. The guy tried to worm his way into this community early on, a couple years ago. He got banned relatively quickly. :che-smile: These guys operate exactly like the fucking feds. They will try to embed themselves in any organization they can and attempt to steer them for their own ends.

Lmao, that's all they can do. They were also on lemmygrad for a while until we said enough and banned them all at once.

They have no party. They have no popular base. They do not do anything materially. But they yell and yell about being the future of communism while being unable to use any of the vocabulary.

Not one word in good faith out of them.
