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

Imagins dismissing a comrade whose been an activist her entire life and has accomplished a hundred times more than most people just because you disagree with her on some shit you read on the Internet.

As soon as socialism actually exists and protects itself from Empire in ANY way, it's suddenly Authoritarian and bad.

I have my own gripes against her for ideological reasons, that said everyone in that thread - minus the one person calling it as they see it - a bunch of seal shit on ice slippery smooth brained dipshit crackers

I think the only valid criticism brought up here is how long she kept up her support for Jim Jones even after he'd gone over the edge.

[–] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 10 months ago

That and I'd say her pro-gun control stance; I can't rock with someone who wants the community disarmed.

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 23 points 10 months ago

She's still alive? huh. I hadn't really heard anything from or about her in a few years.

She seems to still hold some pretty reasonable ideas, like working on BDS.

the possibly white reddit leftcoms here acting like they know more than angela davis is hilarious.

Her work on prisons is lauded but she failed to apply her own principles consistently with regards to USSR.

do you think davis put pen to paper to write some of the best existing theory out there on prison abolition and then just suddenly forgot all of it when it came to the USSR? i wonder what she thinks about a bunch of redditors basically saying they know her own theory better than herself.

well i definitely didnt know about her support of Jim Jones, that is definitely fuckin weird.
