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

Funnily enough the quote does at least make an understandable point, as in it's just not gibberish, even though the point is obviously wrong.
The "opium of the masses" by Marx/Engels was supposed to be a comment on how religion deceives, is ultimately unhealthy and deafening, but at the same time is the last refuge many people have, and therefore still helpful in a twisted way. The "meth of the masses" analogy would mean that it still has the unhealthy, deceptive and deafening aspects of a drug addiction, but without the "soothing last refuge of peace" part; more of a steroid rage kind of thing that is also way more addictive, dangerous and might make you super aggressive, which are common anti-socialist metaphors.
As far as anti-communist drivel goes, at least this one is plausible and has meaning instead of just being babbling.
