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

This is how we know the kids are cool. They’re such ardent socialists that the IMF is writing the terms of their ice cream purchases.

I think lots of people see communism as childish because they instinctively did the things they associate with communism as children, and were broken o that habit as they aged.

Make them understand that they were made to be a certain way for a certain reason. If you can show them that it wasn't just "life" that made them less trusting, more greedy, but an intentional effort designed to benefit someone who wasn't them, that would make them understand why we believe in communism.
