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

MODERATORS
I hate to overused the term "psy-op", but how does such a niche and patently contradictory ideology get so much discussion? Is there anyone who actually believes in this bullshit?
It's no secret that when Infrared started, their comment sections were full of nazbols -- nazbols were their first core audience.
They're Strasserists and attract the type of person that would be attracted by Strasserism. It's sort of circular reasoning, but I think it takes a very specific kind of mindset to be attracted to that in the first place.
The people that believe this, if they actually do (it's looking more and more like an op, Haz might probably be an informant lol), haven't done any research past what infrared tells them. They can't even use the jargon properly lol.
Thing is they also act like this on purpose, this is their M.O. Just put out tweet after tweet to drown you out, it doesn't matter what they say or how they look saying it. They literally have no shame; I'm not saying this as the expression but as a literal sentence lol.
They make themselves look bigger than they really are. Their telegram channel has barely 920 members, but interacting with them you'd think they're thousands in the whole country.
I read an article here before all this patsoc stuff took off about "the new populist right" and it briefly mentioned Infra and maybe one of the Red Scare ladies? It was ages ago and I don't recall the details but it basically focused on a group of young influencers at some GOP event with a plan to build a NazBol movement. I've been thinking about it a lot lately and I wish I could remember who shared it.
Oh wow, if you find it please remind me.
It was several months back so don't get your hopes up, but I'll see if I can find it in my history!
Don't worry I'm used to being disappointed :alex-aware:
