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

I've seen several posts about this loser recently. I thought he was basically discredited years ago?

Just statistically, there are people with some seriously odd beliefs. These can be amplified easily online. Not to get into conspiracy territory, but I wouldn't be surprised if algorithms push him and other 'MAGA communists' because a) libs can point to him and pretend horseshoe theory is real b) this is basically identical to Nazism

I think capital inaugurates, consciously or not, right deviationist quasi-socialists like "natsocs", "patsocs", "magacommunists", and "nazbols", in order to divide and conquer the rising, organizing proletariat. They want to give the working class an identity crisis and start questioning whether socialism is objectively, inherently, permanently chauvinist or not when it comes to superstructural issues. Netanyahu took a similar but not quite related to socialism "divide and conquer" rhetorical tact last week when he told Congress "Gays for Gaza is like Chickens for KFC" and the right wing press applauded this, as if they or Netanyahu has ever cared about gay people.
