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

To anyone from a non US system this is just sad. What is with the US libs thinking their separation of powers is remotely good instead of a deliberate attempt to avoide working class rule and maintain slavery? No sane person would give the US President the monarchical powers he has, even France is more limited.
It's just hegemony. The entire American system goes unquestioned. It's the default state of things, as nature intended.
It's more of a mantra to repeat than serious political analysis. Whenever our government wants to not do something, they have this to fall back on. It's also a useful slogan for distinguishing ourselves from the "totalitarian" countries we want to invade.
Their views are religious doctrine, not based in any sort of conscious thought. America is good because America is great.
