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

In a time when World War 3 seems just on the horizon, a western settler colonial project is actively genociding Arabs, and the global South is being increasingly squeezed by financial imperialism, we need to come together as socialists and focus on the urgent, pressing issues: stopping the tankies.
Side note: I keep seeing these ultraleft/anarchist wrecker types bring up Tigray. Can anyone explain to me why?
Let us admit that deep down, our problem with the tankies, is that they seem to be having a lot of fun in those tanks. I mean, have you seen what a tank does to a Toyota Corolla when you drive over it? Just pure joy, and we are joyless because we are tankless.
It's all just so fucking stupid. I hope they protest the event so he can just go off on them lol.
Skimming a bit:
I guess the formerly Marxist-Leninist Tigray Liberation Front was the one who crushed the 'tankie' DERG, which was admittedly f-ed up, however, when they ruled from the 1990s to 2010s, they seemingly did jackshit, if not worse, for Ethiopia, with its Tigray sectarianism and opposition to the two other main ethnic groups: the Amhara and Oromo
Ultimately, when a new president of a different came to rule, they started a western-backed civil war against them
