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
The fact that he provided zero quotes to back up his claims about this, given that he positioned himself as having read these figures works thoroughly, says it all.
It's insulting to people who have actually made the effort of doing so, and is immediately transparent for those who have.
I recall he made a video during the lead up to the 2020 election where he took Marx and Lenin quotes out of context to make it sound like they support voting for Biden.
Specifically it was the Lenin segment on whether communists should participate in bourgeois elections, where Lenin argues that communists should participate by organizing as a communist party. They will have no expectation of winning, because bourgeois democracy is a myth, but it will be useful to spread propaganda and explicitly to show that bourgeois democracy is rigged.
Saying this means "LENIN WOULD HAVE VOOTED FOR BIDEN" was one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen, and the bar for liberal politics streamers is already in hell.
