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
I am once again asking what the background of the phrase "All politics is sexual pathology" is, I don't think it was ever explained to me the last time I asked, and I don't like being out of the loop
I just assume it’s some mid-century Continental compatible left philosophical wankery.
I think it was a Chapo bit back in 2020 and it stuck. It's been used a lot since then and I can't remember the original source exactly, but it's just a phrase you use when someone says something political while also being horny.
The phrase is used to mock Reddit/Twitter style politics fans who obsess over politicians for aesthetic reasons that usually come down to sexualizing them or obsessing over sexual aspects of their politics (See: Ben Garrison's Sexy Trump cartoons for a good example)
The idea is a bit of a dirt bag left joke when used in a mocking/sarcastic context, but it is somewhat based on feminist theory, that because we live in a patriarchy, the taboo of sex means it has to be constantly thought about to maintain the system. Like how capitalism requires constant work from workers or it collapses.
I see. Great thing that I've never said something horny but also political!
