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

things don't exist until they have a name

also naming things is bad because we don't need new words for things

I heard Leon Trotsky invented the word for political purposes.

These gentlemen think that when we have given names to things we have created the things themselves. This is how these profound thinkers mock at the whole world.

you can't convince me that entire sub is anything but a giant right wing op.

they were also homophobic, ableist, anti semetic, racist, etc

Is quite the argument. If you hold a lot of bigoted views, you can't be bigoted in one specific way?

If you hate enough different minorities, they all cancel each other out like Mr. Burns' viruses

negative intersectionality, where one prejudice connects you to and makes you hold all the others twisted

South Park brain, where if you call everyone a slur you're just being balanced

I forgot they existed ngl pitstalin-gun-1stalin-gun-2

Ofc they'd be the type to stay on reddit-logo though

See the taxonomic hierarchy of patriarchal white supremacy means it can't be bigoted towards any specific category, because all those sub categories are group together via exclusion from the hierarchy by definition. They just hate a bunch of those groups generally, but not like specifically.

While the Soviets had pretty mixed LGBT reputation, they did kill almost every prominent genocidal homophobe in Russia in 1917 from frothing Orthodox Priests to asshole noblewomen to every fucking Black Hundred they could find.

I don't believe in "discrimination," and I don't believe in -isms. As I've said before, whether it's "racism," "homophobia," or "transphobia," these are liberal concepts whose sole function is that as heresies under liberal capitalism (which is why you won't find same level of persecution of any of them, on a societal or state level, in less liberal states; E.G., China, Russia, Iran).

By not acknowledging that homophobia is a thing, you're actually not being homophobic when executing homosexuals.

I don't believe in -isms.
