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

Translation:

My personal opinion, for those who are interested, is that these two instances (Hexbear and Lemmygrad) are filled with what we call here nazbols, tankies, or even left-wing fascists.

They are primarily authoritarians who like to call themselves leftist, but use the same tools, have the same political vision, the same organization, and politically and historically tend to ally with “official” fascists as soon as a truly revolutionary leftist movement emerges.

I found it tolerable to “do nothing” as long as they stayed in their corners, but I had somewhat forgotten that an authoritarian remains an authoritarian and that the only place they deserve is down a well, not forgetting to strike the hands that try to escape with a big stick.

They also said, talking about Hexbear, that keeping it a safe space for transgender people is disgusting, fetishizing, and authoritarian.

They're a crazy rightoid that for some reasons refuses to recognise it. They'll probably say it wasn't transphobia, but just a sick reference to the Avengers that we're too dumb to understand, or some crap like that.

Edit: Oh and they also said that there is no doubt that the Uyhgur genocide is real, because China is culturally genocidal. You can't make this shit up.

I knew about the sinophobia (because they made that claim to me lol) but transphobia too? Unsurprising, just disgusting.

Right here:

Translation:

"It came from the statement made in the thread that hexbear was 'aggressively pro-trans,' which seemed quite disgusting and fetishizing to me. This aligns with the rest of the authoritarian theme of the instance, you might say, having the perspective that one must make a superhuman effort to allow a minority to use a space."

Stop making efforts to create a safe space, it's authoritarian!! angry-hex

So he's basically saying here that in his ideal commune if you're trans or from another marginalized group you can die on his watch and he won't care, there won't be any hate crime laws -- even liberal society is better on this than him.
