Even with their thousands of users, the libs can't even harness a fraction of our power

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

Ngl, right now the lib dunking is the like, idk, thing we've been doing now that hexbear has been released onto Lemmy. Personally I haven't really been doing much of that myself except for dunking on some I saw being homophobic in someone's replies.
But yeah in general we're not as like universally pro China as we seem from the outside, ngl I'm like more hesitant to be all in for China than some of the other users on this site, it's just that when it comes to arguing with libs we don't split from the general hexbear line
But yeah there is a strong sense of community on hexbear, these people helped me understand and come to terms with being trans, the OP of this thread is actually mutuals with me on mastodon and in discord DMs with me and we're in a discord for trans communists together. She's given me a lot of really helpful advice and explained a lot of theory to me, and she (and several other hexbears who follow me on fedi) helped me get past my alcoholism. Like I've also seen some of the users here manage to crowdfund to avoid homelessness, get hrt, money for food when they can't work due to an injury, get medical necessities they otherwise wouldn't be able to afford and the like
TL;DR: we have a real sense of community on
