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'm reading A. B. Abrams - Atrocity Fabrication and Its Consequences: How Fake News Shapes World Order. And I'm confused, he states that the Tianamen square protestors were protesting in favor of a stricter adherence to Maoist principals but also at the same time that were turbo libs and wanted western style "democracy", not to mention the "anti-government insurgents"
Please send help. All of this can make sense in a disorganized movement but he does a poor job of explaining this imo.

I am really hoping that lemmy.world defederate from us. It will be funny.
It will, eventually. It's an unresolved contradiction, Lemmy.world is thoroughly Anticommunist and as such has made itself welcome to Zionists and other fascists. It will eventually defederate, then likely target dbzer0, or maybe just eat itself alive while the rest of the fediverse continues to grow.
Hard to say which will defed first, .world or db–“no tankie shit”–zer0.
After the last little scuffle, if they haven't defederated I don't imagine they will until .world does. Dbzer0 is still federated with Hexbear, which is generally more overt, so Hexbear would either go first, or at the same time.
