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
Idk I've only ever seen reactionaries whinge about it, to me it's practically meaningless because it's not really an effective critique of capitalism, or liberalism in general. It's the same class of words like "woke," "SJW," "PC" etc.
You already mentioned "rainbow capitalism" and that's already a better word for it because it at least describes it a bit better. That's just me though
They keep inventing new words, meanwhile we stay with 1800s ahh words like "Bourgeoisie" "ruling class", this is why we're based
Yeah we should use "globalist" and "cultural Marxist" too right?
It turns out the word dates back to leftists in the 70s, regardless, I've never seen it used in serious discussion in leftist spaces because it's usually the fascists that are complaining about it
