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

So, you need to beat them on the level they're operating on. A funny quip both instantly reveals their "moral superiority" for the self-important moral narcissism it actually is, and also makes you look strong and them look weak in the audience's eyes.

Of course it's about moral superiority. It's not a plain statement of geopolitical reality. We're just virtue signalling.

There are some fucking takes in there.

Also, scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds is a summation of liberal ideology and it's role within capitalism; liberal rulers will turn to fascism when capitalism begins to fail. They don't seem to know that's what it means, and just think it's a pithy personal insult or something.

Also lol at the guy complaining that commies redefined racism to exclude the yts.

I always find it odd liberals always want to prescibe some sort of morality to Marxism. Are they projecting and trying to pretend evrryone is as evil as they are, so communists just have to be lying about their ideology, so we are "virtue signalling"?
