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 would be real disappointed if that was true

Also, why are pronouns bad when we do it?

I mean, you are. If it looks like a dog and barks like a dog...

Actual communists would be trying to get Democrats on their side; they need them if they're going to stand chance at holding office or gaining seats. What you guys are doing is driving away the people you need the most. Your behavior makes no sense for a communist. I mean for one, you literally never hate on right wingers. That alone tells me everything I need to know about this place.

The point I'm trying to make is that you're not fooling anyone, MAGAts.

Edit: How do I disable inbox replies? I really don't care to read what any of you idiots have to day. I don't listen to terrorists. Don't you guys have a courthouse to protest in front of? Go give your previous "god emperor" your attention instead and leave me alone.

I thought this was a joke at first, I'm serious. Not everybody on this site is from the US, but the democrats are a garbage party and do nothing for communists in the US either. Even if we had a one-party dictatorship of the democrats, they would simply re-create the two-party gridlock within their own party, as they have done numerous times in the past (Obama administration, Biden administration, various democratic strongholds such as California). They're increasingly not much of a party anyway, since they have no apparent means of forcing their own members to follow the party line.

I mean for one, you literally never hate on right wingers. That alone tells me everything I need to know about this place.

We literally do that all the time. You probably only found out about us after all this federation drama, during which we've been mostly making fun of all the goddamn liberals it's brought in, so that's why your perspective is skewed.

The point I'm trying to make is that you're not fooling anyone, MAGAts.

Motherfucker you are a fool.

Yeah, I read that comment as a joke too. I thought it was a bit because it was so perfect. Then I noticed where it came from and realized that that guy is actually serious.

You do understand that some people live in countries that are not the USA, right?

Democrats are right wing

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 year ago

Communists should try to ally with a party that doubled Trumps deportations, bans rail unions from striking and funds police departments that spy on our orgs?

Bro just admit you're a chud who was put off by Trump, you dont have to pretend anymore

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

getting democrats on their side

Countless struggle sessions over this

Makes no sense

To you read-theory

Literally never

Just straight up lying. Also thanks for the inspiration to purge 'literally' from my vocabulary.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

We hate on right wingers all the time, we literally call them chuds. Like half of the posts on the dunk tank are about hating right wingers. My most popular post is making fun of Jordan Peterson. The second one is a meme I made with someone else making fun of right wing antivaxxers for taking horse and cow medicine.

Actually a lot of us have read State and Revolution, have you? Maybe you're the right winger.

Have not read any of the 10 million threads posted about the new chud anthem

I kinda appreciate the bravery to post that here, but sadly I can't actually follow your path (to certain victory and to a new world), because I am not american, and so I can't get these Democrats (that are necessary to win) on my side.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

how tf are you not American. everyone on the internet is american

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

this is such a good bit

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

So are you advising me as someone who isn't allowed to vote to vote? This is why Trump wins!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

Your behavior makes no sense for a communist. I mean for one, you literally never hate on right wingers

We definitely do, but we're mostly young and lgbt and from western countries, so hating conservative liberals and fash is second nature, and moderate libs like pretending they're the furthest left possible, so we can't help but remind them that no, they're still very right wing

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

This is a bit, right? There's no way you ACTUALLY believe this, right? RIGHT?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I mean for one, you literally never hate on right wingers.

The acceptable range of opinions on this instance regarding what should be done with right wingers ranges from the moderate position of "Force them into re-education camps" to "Force them into a pit and throw in dynamite." pit

I'm really not sure how we could possibly make this more clear. fash-bash BASH THE FASH fash-bash
