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

Pretty much. Vote for whoever you want, just don't pretend it actually does much of anything. I'll take a hardworking comrade who voted for biden over someone who refused to vote but also refuses to do any other political activity or organizing work, but I completely respect anyone who can't stomach voting for biden, or says its pointless, because it is. As long as you take that lesson and start doing more than just light charity and doorknocking for democrats.

watching some of this a new movement wont materialise out of thin air accompanied with ps vote blue ✌️ is pretty funny, theyre not perfect but there are socialist orgs in the states worth getting excited about.

Drooling for the democrats is some intense american exceptionalist, defend tradition bullshit if I ever saw it.. I would personally love to know what kind of on the ground local organising Nat does lol, organising an interview with a war criminal doesnt count 💅

Yeah exactly, their solution is to deride, or to ignore the existence of, all alternatives to blue maga, and then say "you have no alternative I don't see you starting a movement" type shit. I'd respect shilling for fucking DSA way more than this, and DSA kinda sucks.

Liberals continue to talk down to the poor and brush off their concerns and then wonder why dipshits like Trump get elected

As someone who doesn't give a fuck about voting but will spend a thousand dollars of my own money to go half way across the country and do relation building with Lakota, Canadian, Romanian, Mexican, German, etc. and other comrades from all over the world in the most impoverished place in the entire US, that take of hers makes my fucking blood boil. Like great Natalie, what the fuck have you ever done but grift off patreon with your artsy vapid "philosophy" video essays you monumental piece of shit. Go hang outt with more war criminals and call it praxis you slimy fucking ghoul.

If CLN had her patreon funding we'd be well on our way to a real revolutionary movement by now. Instead I had to scrape by for the entire year at my shitty retail job to afford just one trip like this.

yeah she never was great but her smarmy centrist arc really irks me. chunka luta is 1,000,000 times cooler than random white lib in baltimore who's only relevant online
