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

Communism is when the means of production are seized through nasty disgusting authoritarianism 😠

Socialism is when we nicely ask the bourgeoisie to relinquish their private property and means of production, and if they refuse, that’s their right and we have to respect it 🙂

Let’s be honest, they most likely think socialism starts and ends with a robust welfare state.

One time someone I know in real life who considers themselves smart told me that being able to buy flavoring sauces with food stamps in the US is an example of socialism

Socialism is when you pay taxes and they go to the military industrial complex

  • something I've actually heard several liberals unironically argue

"Giving money to the MIC and intelligence agencies so they can kill socialists is itself socialist" is certainly a take
