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

tankie has been rhetorically whittled down from its original 1950s CPGB infighting meaning to just a worthless slander against any and all anti-imperialists, regardless of political tendency.
"Tankie" is when the anti-imperialist does stuff, and it's more tankie the more stuff it does, and if it does a real lot of stuff, it's redfash.
I once saw someone call an anarchist Mastodon instance tankie because someone said something about killing all billionaires
I once described to a liberal friend a dream I had about commandeering a tank, spray-painting the name "Autistic Saudade" on the side, and using it to disperse a neo-nazi rally meant to intimidate refugees and immigrants from "undesirable" countries. My friend said that I "went full tankie on them" and expressed that he was "glad that [I] wasn't a tankie".
...What the hell's that supposed to mean‽ That I'm just supposed to let neo-nazis intimidate refugees without consequence‽
