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.

paper impersonating bleach demons getting mad about the most harmless "slur" in the history of humankind again
Honestly I find whitelists to be an... odd way of phrasing it. There's a reason most programmers have moved to block and allow lists. Don't really care about crackerlist, but I find it odd that they'd still use the naming conventions of white and black lists. Changing white to cracker doesn't make whitelists any less weird.
No idea how they give two shits about the word cracker when there is obviously a bigger issue.
9/10 crackers do not ruminate in fear and dehumanization when they’re called that because there is no policy - historical or present - to oppress them as a group of people. Rarely do people say it with complete malice and desire for violence - it’s often said lightheartedly because everyone knows that the dynamics are just completely imbalanced. At worst they’ll be annoyed for 30 seconds and forget about it.
Hell, I’d argue honkey and redneck are more “offensive” because it’s a slur for poor white people, and this subgroup has and is still being targeted by the state today. But crackers don’t want to talk about class, even when it’s them who’s suffering.
Literally nobody but racist crackers care about "slurs" for white people, it doesn't hurt and may in fact help in the most minuscule of ways because it's funny watching white identitarians malding about make-believe oppression
Looking for a pat on the head or somethin?
If being called cracker makes someone disinterested in socialist policy then they weren't open to changing their views in the first place
This is a bad take. If you try to join a group and they insult you, it's normal to walk away even if you like some things that group is doing. People leave jobs that pay them money they need over insults.
Fam I learned recently that rednecks eat at a place called Cracker Barrel. Only the most baby of petit bourgeois would be angry about it, and their class interests do not align with socialism
Nah it's pretty funny, everyone should say it.
