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

because there's no left wing in the US that currently has the infrastructure to protect marginalized people so the most likely outcome will be liberals sitting on their hands while people of color and queer people are murdered. it has the same flaw as accelerationism, we have no way to guarantee something worse won't come out of this.
America collapsing is unambiguously good for the world, no matter how many people are hurt here
In no way am I defending the existence of this fascist settler colonial project that wages endless suffering around the world but the most likely outcome of an American collapse without an actual left that exists beyond posting is probably more fascist. Is it better for the world if those people have nukes? Idk comrade.
yeah you're right, things will get so much worse, i shouldn't have posted that
to be fair, the USA is the worst and shouldn't exist!
