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

They are disarming the proletariat because they know how hard we have all been studying the blade. The sword is the true worker's symbol of liberation. Only a multi-thousand-times folded blade can cleanly slice through the chains of oppression.

Bullshit.

The humble yet mighty spear is the symbol of liberation for the workers and peasants through out history since time immemorial.

Swords are bourgeoisie and spears are proletariat, and also in every HEMA sword-spear matchup the spear wins.

And against the feudal SWAT shitlords known as knights in all their tin can glory, all a sword can do against them is maybe give them tinnitus and a strained neck or some light bruises.

A spear and a good running start will turn a knight into a fresh can of spam.

Get some pikes and some comrades and the knights can't do shit

I mean if we really want to be flexing get the Lads halberds

The average Mace & Dagger enjoyer can put a knight to sleep in no time

If your sword breaks, you have a broken sword.

If your spear breaks, you have a staff!

[–] novibe@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

Or even better, a one-handed spear!

[–] Kynuck97@hexbear.net 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I stand corrected - I must begin studying the spear.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 9 months ago

That's why it's the symbol of liberation for workers and peasants. You don't really need to!

How about a fookin' gun with a bayonet now... that's apt to industrial capitalism...

Now, if we took makeshift drones and cellphones, and a bit of kitchen material... to adapt to the modern age...

Hmmm.... adventure-time fedposting
