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

Lmao

I've been too busy working the past few days to keep up with online drama

I'm fucking tired but it's cool I made the even more terminally online "leftists" at raddle mad hehehe

Would it be too online of me to write a response?

If any of you understood my positions, you very likely wouldn't be tankies. You have to be incredibly obtuse and prone to cult-like obedience to dear leader to be a tankie.

People who dedicate themselves to being subordinate to the party elite will never understand anarchy or wrap their heads around critiques of the fatalistic left/right paradigm.

Do you, like, believe that we just have some innate desire to be obedient to authority figures? That we really just mindlessly see someone in a position of power and instinctively blindly obey? You think none of us understand your positions, but it's obvious you don't have a clue why any of us support e.g. democratic centralism. Have you ever even tried to understand?

No, they got two chapters into Capital and came to the incredibly developed analysis of "none of this makes sense I'm just gonna get all my politics from CrimethInc."

Two chapters is generous. I'd be surprised if they had even read the wikipedia summary of Capital.

(I don't blame them too much tbh, it is a chore to get through.)
