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

MODERATORS
"stans" Fuck off. Stop being a lib, your bullshit anger at "attacks" as some form of individualized unnecessary violence is absurd. You're the one trying to defend a figure in spite of a critique by claiming the critique is not @Civility@hexbear.net
I responded to everything you said; literally every sentence has its response in my comment.
My comparison is not about some "he's as good as Marx" dumbass bit, it's talking about the function in society of piercing analysis and relentless critique which Roderic does and I don't see near enough of in any movements, and Marx remarked the exact same things in his time.
If I'm around at the time I will ask JT why he would want to take such a debate private as well as what function he thinks MMT has to society. I suspect this has to do with CPUSA, and I'm not gonna be angry at JT for that. I don't care really, because I think it's bigger than him or Roderic but something whole orgs/movements will have to grapple with. But, even if JT theoretically is only pushing it because of demcent, I still think he should do his utmost to defend it (and fail and bring that back to change the org).
LMAO
Lol you complained about me ignoring your "points" Then name one that I didn't address
