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

Your kind is engaging in heavy Soviet apologism in your own way. You think that if you are different from the tankies then everything is OK. For reasonable people it isn't. You might call it "reformed" or whatever the fuck you call it, but your actions speak for itself. Soviet apologist scum you are and I am not impressed by your excuse of being less into it that those few Stalinists.

Damn, this mf said "tankie" 7 years ago

I'm no Soviet apologist, because I don't fucking apologize :shrug-outta-hecks:

Man, I just can't take open hostility. It bothers me that there is no universe where this person sees the world the way I do.

Tankie has been used on Reddit for longer than that, but I remember it being mostly used by anarchists and leftcoms. Liberals started using it more during the 2015 primaries to separate Bernie "leftists" from the communists.

I just want "tankie" to start being a regularly used term on both Fox News and CNN.
