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

the definition of the word tankie is like a rubber band that broke long ago from being overstretched, and has now become brittle from sitting in the sun. It used to be an infighting word in the Communist Party of Great Britain in the 1950s. CPGB members would accuse each other of being tankie if they towed the CPSU party line, particularly in regards to the USSR's actions against the (US-backed) Hungarian uprising.
Now it's just a term liberals use when you tell them to read Capital. Marx? A tankie? Tanks didn't even exist until after he died lol.
But what about tachankies?
He died, and it was invented right afterward. Sounds like he reincarnated
