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

I wonder whats Stalin's take on how to deal with people with "conservative values"

In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty.

This reminds me of the Boots Riley interview where he talks about how capitalism needed racism to operate: https://youtu.be/JmyWvjszBOw

Before seeing this, I'd read about intersectionalism but this is one of the things that really made the concept click in my head. In the case of the video of course racism is being discussed, but transphobia, homophobia, sexism are all intertwined with the capitalism and used to manipulate and/or exploit various groups. I'm still not well-versed on the topic by any means, but it now seems bizarre to me that people like this don't see those links between social and economic justice.
