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

idk The Economist, all of this sounds pretty... baseless

The Economist is a piece of rag that likes to get high on orientalism and neoliberalism...

The Economist is what happens when someone parses the first word of "Combat Liberalism" as an adjective instead of a verb.

Incredible. This should be a tagline.

Side note: I've never understood why 反对自由主义 in particular is translated to "Combat Liberalism" instead of "Oppose Liberalism" since all of Mao's other works that start with 反对 are translated as "Oppose", the most famous being 反对本本主义 "Oppose Book Worship"

The Economist is liberal ideology and imperialism distilled

Great ep. Also, I do know The Economist, I was using idk rhetorically. Sorry if any confusion.
