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

Fuck these tankies man. I’m as leftist as they come and I HATE what these people are doing to the cause.

They did it, they did the meme unironically! farquaad-point

1984 was based on the Soviet Union

galaxy-brain insight from lemmy.world as always

Read another book besides 1984, Animal Farm and Harry Potter, please

Except russians are russians and they eventualy somehow fuck up everything they touch. God forbid they go full on democracy.

From 0 to racist in 5 seconds

Who made that really good post about how 1984 was clearly based on England?

The great Warren-Buttigege split of Hexbear has been a disaster for the posters

"Leftist as they come" always means "i'm a complete reactionary, but not as openly fascist as the people i hang out with." It's basically admitting you're the Tim Pool for your local chuds.

This is where I learned the word tankies. It sounds like British slang honestly.
