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’d probably say the same things too, if I had my head that far up my own ass.

Good tweet text, bad flag

If your beliefs 100% align with a group, you're probably more interested in following the group than your beliefs

There are cases of your interests completely aligning with those of a particular group, especially when you and the membership of the group are in a similar position socially. Not sure how that relates to OP, but political-economic classes are a thing.

Wait until you see the flag of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast!

I know the reality is Russia is unfriendly towards the lgbt but it’s important we lie to ourselves and pretend that it’s not for the sake of left unity. Being able to hold two contradictory beliefs is half of what being a leftist is.

Nah nah, a better way to put it is """Holding both the contradictory beliefs and screaming endlessly in a time loop forever about how you're going to make them face the fucking wall for their crimes but also in this one instance of a completely different situation that is unrelated in almost every fuckin way they aren't automagically the enemy (any more than usual for being capitalist fascist pieces of shit just like yesterday when we weren't currently at 'active' war) because our even worse capitalist institutions say so while the entire world gaslights you into pretending a country that was shooting LGBT people in the street for being "removed" or whatever during their most recent coup/revolution/fascist takeover is actually the "Pro-LGBT war 'team' that you need to support by sending direct military aid today by calling the number on your screen now, that's 1800-RATHEOMARTIN" (despite all the articles and videos of their 2014-2020ish journalism literally being living proof against their current talking point and even popping up in the related articles for modern puff pieces about the new heroes-in-swastikas until you're convinced you're living in a simulation where you just loop the previous wars arguments over and over and over again every day forever.""" is what half of being a leftist actually is.
