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

Same racist that argued that reconstruction was “objectively bad” and the idea that blacks deserved something better than Jim Crow was “communism.”
She also “subtly” implied Emmett Till had it coming
...And people wonder why I have no issues with vocalizing how badly I want settlers dead anymore.
I want that karen swinging by her ankles from the same trees her ancestors put mine in fuck turning the other cheek.
I just typed out a comment about how this is the kind of rhetoric that led to his murder, and unfortunately I am proven right. What a despicable person.
Only Zionists have the audacity to use racist imagery of non-white men sexually assaulting white women to justify "retaliatory" violence (ranging from "individual" lynching to collective punishment/pogroms) and then act incredulous when someone from a group historically targeted by that violence doesn't want to fuck with them.
(Yes, I know many non-white Israelis exist and can be just as much Zionist-fascist pigs. Doesn't mean Israelis aren't perceived to be whiter and more "Western" than Palestinians by Westoids, which is something that the Zionists themselves love to exploit)
What is reconstruction ?
Also lmao bruh
It’s a period of US history. Post-Civil War. I’m assuming she’s arguing against the amendments made for freed slaves during that time
Edit: looks like she spends most of the argument making the case that the poor confederates were treated so harshly post-war when in reality the Republicans should have gone a lot harder
Lmao what a disgusting human being
The period that came after the Civil War and Emancipation Proclamation that should have seen the South rebuilt, and Black subjects of empire made not only whole, but equal to the white man. (Only part of one of these things actually happened.) Large parts of the efforts aimed at making newfound Freedmen whole would be scuttled by the klansman king Andrew Johnson and those to follow him; notable among the reforms that got the axe being Union general Ulysses S. Grant's "Field Order 15", which is where the 'forty acres and a mule' bit in Amerikan history sources from.
I think only like ten Freedmen actually got that land and mule before Johnson deaded that order.
Read settlers
I mean always good advice, but perhaps a palestinian of all people can be forgiven for not knowing US historical terminology, they've had a lot else on their plate lately
It's not only about the U.S. it talks about settlerism in the U.S. which is very similar to Israeli settlerism, it is a must read not only for people in the U.S. but anyone who lives in or under settler colonial state.
It was written by someone who thought Leninism was a psyop from the bourgeoisie ,I know it’s politics are Marxist Leninist but still
I will read it Ig
