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

MFW I am slowly realizing how many liberals, so matter how anti-war they are, are just once scratch away from kowtowing.

Would Jeremy Corbyn or Jean-Luc Melenchon go fash as soon as they got the command to?

What? Tulsi has always been a raging islamophobic Nazi.

Probably should have corrected myself, no matter how anti-establishment* they claim to be or anyone who claims to be progressive.

MFW democrats are probably going to end up as LaRouchites at best or Duginists at worst.

Considering how Jeremy was ousted specifically for his support of Palestine, I would say no

Probably, but it is not fair to compare them to Tulsi. Say what you want, but Hillary was kinda right, Tulsi is/always been sketch. Suddenly her worldview makes sense if you look at it from perspective of her weird Hindi nationalist yoga cult SIF. It was founded broadly on communist principles (hence her support for Bernie social policies), but also Islamophobic and homophobic AF.
