Let's not forget that Democrats threw BLM under the bus to appease the landlord class when it was no longer politically expedient to support protests. And how quickly they walked back every "defund the police" promise without even the slightest whiff of resistance.

"Defund the police" pisses me off because it was already a milquetoast downgrade from the real slogan: abolish the police. That was "too radical" and yet the compromise was still disregarded as extreme.

It really was wild watching the liberal establishment extinguish the BLM demonstrations in real time.

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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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
