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

This is them trying to say they aren't a left anti-communist. Followed by this for good measure:

I already posted another dunk from this same thread, but this person is a goldmine of pretentious and unintentionally hilarious takes michael-laugh

There aren't any states that have successfully fully implemented a socialist society today

No shit, considering no state has EVER done that. That's a ridiculous standard to hold a state to.

fully implemented

what a convenient little clause!

As you can see, my young apprentice, your friends have failed. Now witness the firepower of this fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL socialism!

When you think that communism is a state of affairs to be established, and not a process

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah but by that metric, no state has ever successfully implemented a capitalist society either, but i guess that doesnt matter, since capitalism is human nature or some shit.

In what way? Like by ancap standards?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah. in spite of capitalists' best efforts, people still make friends. they fall in love. they help each other. they spend time out of their day NOT thinking about creating profit for shareholders.

capitalism is only half-built, in spite of centuries of concentrated effort.
