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

I mean her example's dumb but like the general idea that some ML movements have had reactionary tendencies is true. Like ML thinkers and movements have been notably queerphobic and especially transphobic. Like both of the notable ML parties in my own country are notorious for their transphobia, to the degree that despite being a massive liberal JK Rowling frequently speaks well of them and even quoted On Authority in support of CPGB-ML once - for all their flaws, the Trotskyite and anarchist orgs in the UK don't have anywhere near the same level of transphobia within them.
As far as I'm aware the trots don't have this problem though (and if they do they're not on the level of publicly putting out things cheering on Rishi Sunak squashing scottish pro trans laws and claiming he's defending women from male cross dressers entering female only spaces), and some of the anarchists actually helped me get HRT.
To claim it's just a Britain thing completely ignores all the British far leftist orgs that aren't transphobic. The only notable ML org to clearly not be transphobic was RFB, which collapsed years ago.
