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

Anyone left of Hitler is a tankie to these weirdos

Giving them too much credit, I could very much see them make the argument "Hitler was a tankie" unironically

If horseshoe theory is real, and eveyone left of hitler is a tanky, and if you keep going left and it wraps back around to hitler, then yeah. Hitler's a tanky.

'Hitler's problem was that he was influenced by tankies!'

Isn't that the old "Isn't it national socialism?" bit?

Yes but many liberals see fascism and communism as two sides of the same coin even though pro western, pro capitalist politicians and followers are more sympathetic towards fascism. It’s incredible that these people will call Trump and his voters fascist and then somehow the people who oppose them are also fascists because… they speak to crowds?
