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

Their bigger posts from their front page I noticed include someone whining that someone put out agitprop condemning the zionist entity's continued violations of human rights and the natural response to such, and hand waiving away all the atrocities the US committed in Korea as "well who invaded first." So, yeah, bot checks out.

Got called a Fascist Brownshirt by a Tankie

I was arguing with this Tankie on tiktok (waste of time I know) & we were talking about the 2024 election. I said that it doesn't make someone a "bad-leftist" if they don't vote 3rd party in 2024 & that it is perfectly reasonable for a leftist to vote democratic in 2024. He then preceded to say that I was "encouraging genocide" (despite my statement earlier that I DO support Palestine) & that the republican and democratic party are the exact same thing. He then called me a "Fascist blackshirt Marxist" and blocked me.

And thus I join this sub

You can tell this happened because the tankie called them a Marxist for voting as a democrat.

Any thoughts on Pete Buttigieg?

Just merge with the neoliberal sub already. This place is a joke.

(mod) Trust me, we’ve been trying for months to fix the liberal problem. We’ve managed to reduce the amount of liberal rhetoric being spread on here, but we haven’t managed to actually drive most of the liberals out (as shown by our monthly ideology poll).

What the fuck are they replacing liberals with?

Theoretically, anarchists and other "libertarian socialist" types. In practice, mostly liberals who like listening to pop-punk and looking at pictures of graffiti online.

I vote that hexbear do a weekly ideology poll. This is important data that definitely can't be falsified by simply choosing an option in the poll that doesn't align with your actual ideology simply to "fit in".

This week I feel like a Marxist Scorpio because I'm smart, empathetic, and dialectical.

anarchists routinely undercounted due to our refusal to comply with the tabulating and rationalizing functions of the state
