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 [email protected]

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

How do you square that with the Chairman Mao line?

I mean it's kind of true? Less so nowadays than it was then I'd say.

Regardless of the truth of the sexual prospects of Maoists, I don’t think it’s uncharitable to think that John was not a fan of Marxists.

That's fair. I'm defensive about him because I've been a fan for a long time. Honestly, he was probably a part of my leftward trajectory early on. 'Imagine' is pretty radical. At any rate, I'm never going to hold artists I love to strict political or personal standards-- I probably wouldn't have anything to listen to!
