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

/r/monarchism is fun because they have a very, very large constituency of unironic orleanists/fascists and they really want you not to notice that that's a /

The comic of the slam poetry socialist being confused as he's sent to the coal mines after the revolution, but it's about an internet monarchist being confused as he's sent to sow the potato fields after a new dynasty is installed

Blancs d'Espagne are so much less horrible than the Orleanists. At least those freaks are just delusional.

"White Spaniards" are the guys who think the crown should go to the Bourbons down in Spain. Orleanists want the line of Louis Philippe I to take over. The White Spaniards are just delusional and there's no serious movement to bring them back to power. The Orleanists are represented most prominently by Action Francaise, a bunch of fascists who take their cue from the deranged ramblings of an antisemitic nazi collaborator and who owe their existence to the old french antisemitic leagues.

Aint no way there's a bunch of shitbag nerds pleading for a monarchy.

Do you really think that you'd have any position in society or power if one were to return? You'd be in the trench fighting for scraps like the rest of us you fucking knob.

Many of them are American lol. Making fun of Americans for wanting socialism doesn't make sense because the US has a rich history of socialist activities, movements, and many of the things we take for granted today are the result of socialists. But monarchism? Outside of Paradox forums you'll be hard pressed to find any American who thinks an old guy wearing a $3 billion dollar crown shouldn't be shot if he was ruling the US.

jagoff like that always assume they'll be sitting on a throne of skulls instead of being construction material for a throne of skulls.
