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
Liberals keep saying history is written by the winners while simulatenously believing everything Westerners wrote about communism after the Cold War.
You also get libs from ex-socialist countries that go
"You wouldn't like communism like I lived it in x Warsaw pact country "
Then they follow that with the most racist, fascistic thing possible. Happens everytime
Don’t forget born in 1992
Pfff. More like 2003
Communism is when PiS (or Platforma, depending on who you ask) is in power.
Oh yeah that too! "Everyone is a communist but me" level is discourse is a classic
It could be as G!merbrained as seeing the winners writing the history as based because that just means the winningest winners deserved to win, every time. Secular Calvinist shit.
Nah, I think that those two takes, like many others, just exist in separate, frictionless vacuums for libs; the metaphorical venn diagram has no overlap to them.
History is written by the winners only applies to bad country, and Communism is bad because I was told that in school.
I may have come up with a too-generous way for the libs to reconcile those contradictions. It's probably easier for them that they don't even notice the contradiction.
