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 glad that tankie is just a meaningless pejorative now.

Another fine example of "Everything I Don't Like Is A Tankie" ![tankie](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/0874cb47-c931-4c2f-8ebf-6d2385fe0819.png "emoji tankie") ![gunther-fear](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/c9a933b1-07ab-4285-b101-e98469b3891b.png "emoji gunther-fear")

Federation is just going swimmingly.

Kind of a shame, really.

Some of us are thankful for it, at least 😅

[–] hotwarioinyourarea@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

I never would have found this place if you hadn't though so I'm thankful. Also, startek.website and lemmygrad are cool. The Lemmy Devs are also really cool people even if lemmy.ml has somewhat been co-opted.

Libs accusing each other of being tankies: ![clown-to-clown-communication](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/6fc3f951-79be-4304-8488-1f93f87658d1.png "emoji clown-to-clown-communication")![clown-to-clown-conversation](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/072e1e89-b89c-4f18-9519-4b003a11ae24.png "emoji clown-to-clown-conversation")

![stalin-stressed](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/49ce97a1-cd3d-4104-aff2-652ba59e5780.png "emoji stalin-stressed") more proof that tankie just means woke

Communism is when no freeze peach and no freeze peach on .world, so .world == communism. What do you not understand?

Would it be unfair to call blahaj tra.insjust.run ?

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

I think it checks out, and so would thir.stycha.sers.

sh.itsjust.fash should shut the fuck up lol. They defend racial caricatures like drawing Chinese people's skin yellow. Still remember how many of their users defended that.

A spectre is hanging over Lemmy

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We should spread rumors that it is a tankie instance on SJW, then spread rumors on lemmy.world that SJW is a tankie instance. Why should the FBI have all the fun?

[–] hotwarioinyourarea@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

I don't know what a tankie is but they're EVERYWHERE

[–] UltraGreen@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Damn, meanwhile on world is such a good idea for a community. That's awesome lol.

The idealist side of the discourse is a pathway to many civilities some consider to be undialectical
